华盛顿4月3日路透电 — 唐纳德·特朗普总统周五提议，启动将美国运输安全管理局负责的机场安保运营私有化的进程。美国运输安全管理局是2001年9·11袭击事件后设立的联邦机构。
白宫预算案提议将运输安全管理局的预算削减5200万美元，并要求小型机场加入相关项目，由运输安全管理局为私人安检人员提供资金。目前运输安全管理局拥有约5万名联邦雇员，负责全美几乎所有机场的安检工作。

预算文件显示，目前使用该项目的机场已证明相比联邦安检运营节省了成本。
近几周来，由于预算争端导致运输安全管理局安检人员的拨款自2月中旬起被暂停，大批人员欠薪，美国主要机场遭遇了大规模运营中断。
特朗普在就职首日就解雇了运输安全管理局局长戴维·佩科斯克，且从未提名接任人选。去年，白宫曾提议将运输安全管理局的预算削减2.47亿美元，称“运输安全管理局在推行侵犯美国民众隐私和尊严的强制性安检措施的同时，始终未能通过审计”。

此次预算削减约占运输安全管理局人员编制的3%至4%——其中一半用于取消出境通道岗位，剩余2%的运输安保人员裁员将分布在435个机场。
拜登政府时期，随着近年航空出行量增长，运输安全管理局的员工规模扩大至近6万人。2024年，运输安全管理局安检旅客达9.04亿人次，创历史新高，较2023年增长5%。

WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Friday proposed to begin the process of privatizing airport security operations handled by the Transportation Security Administration, the federal agency created after the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The White House budget proposes cutting the TSA budget by $52 million and would require small airports to enroll in a program in which TSA pays for private screeners. TSA has about 50,000 federal employees who handle screening at nearly all U.S. airports.

Budget documents said that airports currently using the program have demonstrated savings compared to federal screening operations.
In recent weeks major U.S. airports suffered massive disruptions after Transportation Security Administration security officers went unpaid since mid-February after funding for the workers was halted in a budget dispute.
Trump fired the head of the Transportation Security Administration, David Pekoske, on his first day in office and has never nominated a replacement. Last year, the White House said it wanted funding cut for the TSA by $247 million, saying the “TSA has consistently failed audits while implementing intrusive screening measures that violate Americans’ privacy and dignity.”

That budget cut represented about a 3-4% cut to the TSA staffing levels – with half for staff at exit lanes and the remaining cut of 2% of transportation security officers spread across 435 airports.
The Biden administration had increased the size of the TSA, which has nearly 60,000 employees, as air travel has increased in recent years. The TSA screened 904 million passengers in 2024, which was a record high and a 5% increase over 2023.
