House Concurrent Resolution No. 81, introduced by Representative Crews, calls on the United States Congress to consider transferring airport security responsibilities from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to alternative models, such as delegating these duties to trained airline personnel. The resolution emphasizes the importance of secure and efficient travel as a fundamental right for U.S. citizens and highlights growing public dissatisfaction with current TSA practices, which are perceived as inefficient and intrusive. It points to concerns about the effectiveness of TSA security measures, citing instances where undercover investigators successfully passed prohibited items through security checkpoints, raising questions about the agency's protocols.

The resolution advocates for exploring more effective and less invasive security approaches, drawing inspiration from international models, such as those used in Israel, which employ intelligence-driven and behavior-based methods. It suggests that trained airline personnel could enhance the security screening process by leveraging their familiarity with airport operations, thereby improving efficiency and passenger experience while maintaining safety. Ultimately, the resolution seeks to restore confidence in air travel and promote the freedom and enjoyment of travel for U.S. citizens. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and Louisiana's congressional delegation.
