US: Diverting TSA, CBP agents to border ‘not sustainable’: A4A
A4A said monitoring a planned diversion of hundreds of US TSA and Customs and Border Protection personnel from US airports to the southwestern border will be the industry trade group’s top policy priority during the peak summer travel season. The group is working closely with Congress to pass supplemental appropriations to shore up the agencies ahead of what is expected be the busiest summer travel season on record, A4A SVP Sharon Pinkerton said. She said A4A considers the issue to be the “biggest risk” to US airlines’ operations this summer. The reassignments were initially reported May 15 by CNN, citing internal agency emails that said up to 175 law enforcement officials and as many as 400 people from TSA Security Operations, as well as federal air marshals, would be sent to the border. <br/>
