A recently announced initiative spearheaded by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is hoping to privatize security at an increasing number of airports in the coming years.

TSA Gold+ (or TSA Gold-plus) is a newly launched program that would allow airports to opt into a “public-private partnership” to handle the security and screening duties that TSA officers often conduct at the nation’s airport facilities. TSA says the program will allow private security firms to “tailor” security operations to each airport, while still complying with the TSA’s “robust federal security standards.”..
