House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Crews calls on the United States Congress to consider abolishing the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) at airports and transferring security responsibilities to airline employees. The resolution emphasizes that while Louisiana values transportation security, it believes the TSA has proven to be ineffective, intrusive, and costly. It cites instances of TSA failures, such as undercover investigations revealing a high success rate in smuggling prohibited items through security, and instances of TSA agents stealing from passengers. The resolution argues that airline employees could perform security checks more effectively and with greater respect for passengers, drawing on the Israeli security model as a more efficient alternative.

The resolution asserts that the TSA has not only failed to enhance safety but has also made air travel more expensive and time-consuming. It suggests that airline employees, who are already familiar with airport operations, could be trained to conduct security checks, thereby improving the overall travel experience for passengers. The Louisiana Legislature aims to communicate this position to Congress, advocating for a shift in airport security management that prioritizes both safety and passenger rights.
