The Latest: Phoenix airport may pick contractor over TSA
Phoenix officials are weighing whether to use a private contractor to handle security at the city's busiest airport in the wake of a breakdown of a TSA baggage-screening system.
City Assistant Aviation Director Deborah Ostreicher said Friday that the computer glitch that caused more than 3,000 checked bags to miss flights out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is the latest in a growing list of frustrations with the federal agency.
The screening system's technical problems at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport caused more than 3,000 checked bags to miss their flights Thursday.
The TSA says it is screening checked bags normally again at the Phoenix airport after fixing a computer problem and testing the system overnight.
