## Summary

**Abolishing the TSA and shifting aviation security to private screeners and FAA oversight.** This bill would end the Transportation Security Administration three years after enactment and force a DHS plan to move airport screening to qualified private companies while creating an Office of Aviation Security Oversight inside the Federal Aviation Administration. - TSA employees. Operations and personnel would be reduced and transferred until no TSA screening activities remain, and aviation security equipment and related assets would move to private screeners or other agencies. - Airports, travelers, and private screeners.

DHS must provide progress reports to the Comptroller General and Congress starting within 60 days and the Comptroller General must report to Congress every 180 days. Congress must approve the reorganization plan by joint resolution.
