The Transportation Security Administration has decided to end its Gold+ private airport screening program. This program will be phased out in favor of optimizing the existing Screening Partnership Program.

The decision was announced on Monday, indicating a shift in the agency's approach to airport security screening. Details of the phase-out and optimization plans are not specified here, but further information is available from the source.

The Screening Partnership Program will be the focus of the agency's efforts going forward, replacing the Gold+ program as the preferred approach to private airport screening.
