华盛顿9月29日（路透社）——美国运输安全管理局和一家大型工会周二表示，美国机场安检点的运输安全管理局安检人员在查验身份证件时将不得再落座。
代表安检人员的美国政府雇员联合会TSA第100委员会表示，运输安全管理局正在移除安检点的座椅，并批评此举是“对员工权利和安全的漠视”，补充称座椅“是对整日站立、在硬质地面行走的安检人员的基本人体工程学和安全支持”。

运输安全管理局证实了这一决定，称：“这项受欢迎的变革既强化了我们的安保态势，也体现了我们对服务热情的承诺——让这些安检人员始终站立、保持警觉。所有安检人员都必须符合在岗体能要求，才能履行其至关重要的国家安全职责。”
唐纳德·特朗普总统今年4月提议裁员9400多人，并削减这家拥有6万名员工、负责机场安保运营的运输安全管理局年度预算15亿多美元，约合20%。
特朗普还提议要求小型机场使用私人安保团队，此举第一步将削减超过4500个运输安全管理局岗位，为这家2001年“9·11”袭击后成立的机构私有化铺平道路。

包括旧金山、堪萨斯城和佛罗里达州萨拉索塔在内的约20家机场多年来一直在使用私人安保安检人员。
美国参议院8月投票确认了大卫·卡明斯的提名，他是总部位于英国的跨国公共服务承包商Serco的高级副总裁，将出任运输安全管理局局长。
特朗普在2025年就职首日就解雇了时任运输安全管理局局长戴维·佩科斯克，且16个月来未提名接任人选。
今年春季的一场长期政府停摆导致5万名运输安全管理局员工六周无薪工作，造成严重 disruptions，包括机场安检等待时间延长至四小时甚至更久。
美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）周二早些时候报道了这一安保流程变更。

WASHINGTON, Sept 29 (Reuters) – US Transportation Security Administration officers will no longer be able to sit while checking IDs at US airport checkpoints, the agency and a major union said Tuesday.
TSA is removing chairs from checkpoints, said the American Federation of Government Employees TSA Council 100, which represents workers and criticized the move as a “disregard for workers’ rights and safety” and added the chairs “serve as basic ergonomic and safety support for officers that stand and walk on hard surfaces all day.”

TSA confirmed the decision, saying: “This welcome change reinforces both our security posture and our commitment to hospitality by having these officers on their feet and alert. All officers must meet fitness for duty requirements to be capable of performing their vital national security function.”
President Donald Trump proposed in April cutting more than 9,400 workers and just over $1.5 billion, or about 20%, from the annual budget of the 60,000-employee TSA that handles airport security operations.
Trump also proposed requiring smaller airports to use private security, a move that would cut the TSA payroll by more than 4,500 jobs in a first step toward privatizing the agency created after the September 11, 2001, attacks.

About 20 airports, including those in San Francisco, Kansas City and Sarasota, Florida, have used private security screeners for years.
The US Senate in August voted to confirm David Cummins, a senior vice president of Serco, a UK-headquartered multinational that runs public services for governments, to head the TSA.
Trump fired TSA head David Pekoske on the president’s first day in office in 2025 and did not nominate a replacement for 16 months.
A lengthy government shutdown this spring forced 50,000 TSA workers to go without pay for six weeks, resulting in major disruptions, including airport security waits extending four hours or more.
CNN reported the change in security procedures earlier on Tuesday.
