President Trump's FY2027 budget proposal shifts more airport security screening from the TSA to private contractors. It trims federal science funding and omits the initial planned civilian pay raise. Budget experts and major outlets say the plan lacks detail, inflates the deficit, and threatens essential support programs. Those changes would alter airport screening operations, shrink research budgets, and delay pay increases for federal workers.
