The Screening Partnership Program (SPP) was created by Congress as part of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) of 2001 to allow private screening companies to conduct passenger and baggage screening at airports under TSA’s regulation and oversight. Through innovative staffing, progressive discipline and best business practices, a private company can aggressively address any operational, personnel or performance concerns. Specific needs of an airport and its stakeholders such as attendance, customer service, and wait times can all be addressed more efficiently by using a private screening company.

In 2002, CAS was the only private contractor awarded multiple contracts for providing commercial screening services to the TSA under the privatization pilot program initiated by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA). CAS successfully mobilized and hired over 1,200 screening personnel at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and the Tupelo Regional Airport (TUP) within six weeks of contract award. In 2005, CAS was awarded the screening contract at Sioux Falls International Airport in Sioux Falls, SD (which was the first airport to de-federalize its workforce under the TSA’s Screening Partnership Program (SPP).

CAS has over 1,400 ATSA certified screeners at the following airports:
