华盛顿，4月23日 路透电 — 两位消息人士周四向路透社透露，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普打算提名一位资深企业高管兼政府合同专家出任美国运输安全管理局（TSA）局长。
特朗普计划任命塞尔科北美公司高级副总裁戴维·卡明斯，后者负责该公司联邦、州和地方政府民用客户业务板块。本月早些时候，特朗普提议将美国运输安全管理局的大部分业务私有化，并裁减近1万名员工。

特朗普在2025年就职总统首日就解雇了美国运输安全管理局局长戴维·佩科斯基，且已超过15个月未提名接任人选。特朗普在首届任期内提名佩科斯基出任局长，而前总统乔·拜登为其续任了五年任期。
今年春季的长时间政府停摆导致5万名美国运输安全管理局员工六周未领到薪水，引发大规模混乱，包括机场安检等待时间延长至四小时甚至更久。
特朗普的预算案提议削减美国运输安全管理局逾15亿美元经费，并要求小型机场改用私人安保服务替代该局安检，以此作为将这家2001年“9·11”事件后成立的机构私有化的第一步。

白宫表示，这一调整将削减美国运输安全管理局逾4500个工作岗位。该局还提议通过提高效率、取消出口通道安检 staffing（注：原文此处为staffing，应为人员配置）以及消除冗余岗位，再裁减4800个职位。
裁员计划将节省逾5亿美元。
该提案将把美国运输安全管理局78亿美元的预算削减约20%。此前在去年秋季和今年春季的政府拨款中断期间，该局已有超过1600名员工离职。
拜登政府时期美国运输安全管理局的规模有所扩大。2024年该局安检旅客达9.04亿人次，创历史新高，较2023年增长5%。
白宫去年曾表示：“美国运输安全管理局在推行侵犯美国人隐私和尊严的侵入式安检措施的同时，始终通不过审计。”
今年9月，美国国土安全部表示，将解雇五名高级官员，理由是他们涉嫌利用现已废除的航空安全监视名单针对拜登的政治对手。
今年6月被废止的美国运输安全管理局“安静天空”计划，曾要求对部分被认定为高安全风险的航空乘客实施强化安检。

WASHINGTON, April 23 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump intends to nominate a longtime business executive and government contracting expert to head the Transportation Security Administration, two sources told Reuters on Thursday.
Trump plans to tap David Cummins, a senior vice president of Serco SRP.L North America who oversees its federal, state, and local government civilian customer portfolio. Earlier this month, Trump proposed privatizing much of TSA’s operations and cutting nearly 10,000 employees.

Trump fired the head of TSA, David Pekoske, on the president’s first day in office in 2025 and has not nominated a replacement in more than 15 months. Trump had nominated Pekoske during his first term and former President Joe Biden nominated him for a second five-year term.
A lengthy government shutdown this spring forced 50,000 TSA workers to go without pay for six weeks, resulting in major disruptions, including airport security waits extending four hours or more.
Trump’s budget calls for cutting TSA by more than $1.5 billion and seeks to require smaller airports to use private security instead of TSA as a first step toward privatizing the agency created after the September 11, 2001, attacks.

The White House said this change would cut the TSA payroll by more than 4,500 jobs. The TSA proposes to cut another 4,800 jobs by improving efficiency, ending staffing at exit lanes and eliminating redundancies.
The employee cuts would save more than $500 million.
The proposal would cut the agency’s $7.8 billion budget by about 20% and comes after TSA lost more than 1,600 workers during government funding disruptions last fall and this spring.
The Biden administration increased the size of the TSA. It screened 904 million passengers in 2024, a record high and a 5% increase over 2023.
Last year, the White House said, “TSA has consistently failed audits while implementing intrusive screening measures that violate Americans’ privacy and dignity.”
In September, the Homeland Security Department said it was removing five senior officials on suspicion of targeting Biden’s political opponents with a now-abolished aviation security watchlist.
TSA’s “Quiet Skies” program, scrapped in June, had required enhanced screening for some air passengers deemed to be a higher security risk.
