The TSA is considering nixing passenger screening at more than 150 airports across the country, a new report reveals.

The proposal, laid out in documents by a TSA working group, would get rid of screening at some small and medium-size airports serving aircraft with 60 or fewer seats, according to CNN. If the passengers on those planes are connecting at a larger airport, they would instead be screened there.

The documents say there could be some risk associated with the move, stating there would be “small (non-zero) undesirable increase in risk related to additional adversary opportunity.” The move would save $114 million per year, the documents show.

Two anonymous TSA officials contacted by CNN said the proposal could lead to serious security risks. A spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.
