The Transportation Security Administration is weighing the possibility of doing away with passenger screening at dozens of small- and medium-sized airports across the U.S., CNN reported Wednesday, citing senior TSA officials and internal documents.
A TSA working group of roughly 20 people, including a representative of the agency's administrator's office says the proposal to cut screening at airports serving aircraft with 60 seats or fewer could result in a "small (non-zero) undesirable increase in risk related to additional adversary opportunity," according to internal documents obtained by CNN.
