​A group ​representing major U.S. ‌airlines opposes ​a White House proposal to ‌require smaller airports to use private security screeners instead of the Transportation Security ‌Administration, according to written testimony seen ‌by Reuters.

Airlines for America CEO Chris Sununu will tell a U.S. ⁠House of ​Representatives ⁠committee on Wednesday that ensuring that private ⁠security "remains an option for airports ​and does not become a mandatory ⁠program is paramount to the U.S. ⁠aviation industry."

President ​Donald Trump last month proposed cutting more than 9,400 ⁠workers and just over $1.5 billion from ⁠the 60,000-employee ⁠TSA that handles airport security operations.
