TSA WAS CREATED FOR A REASON. LET’S NOT FORGET WHY.
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, our nation recognized that aviation security could no longer be fragmented among individual airports and private contractors.
Congress created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to establish a stronger, consistent approach to protecting the traveling public and our transportation systems from threats.
Today, APFA stands firmly against privatizing TSA.
As Flight Attendants, we are on the front lines of aviation safety every day. We know that security is not a place to cut corners and should never be risked for private profit.
We learned what happens when aviation security fails. We should not forget those lessons.
Keep TSA public. Protect the traveling public. Put safety before profit.
