TSA pivots from Gold+ to an evolved private-screening program under Horizon 25
TL;DR
TSA is scrapping the Gold+ privatized screening concept in favor of an 'evolved' Screening Partnership Program as part of Administrator Cummins’ Horizon 25 Strategy to modernize checkpoints and broaden private partnerships (and bolster PreCheck). Tampa International Airport decided not to adopt Gold+, opting to keep TSA officers, while other airports had considered the plan. The shift follows ongoing privatization push debates, with labor groups weighing in and Gold+ procurement already underway before the pivot.
