The TSA is identifying up to 400 people to send to the border to help process migrants; an official says it won't include airport security screeners.
The Transportation Security Administration is preparing to send up to 400 workers to the southern border to assist with the rising number of Central American migrants, but officials say the move shouldn't affect air travel as the summer travel season gets underway.
According a senior TSA official, the agency is reviewing its 60,000 employees to see which would be most helpful along the border, but officials do not plan to include people who conduct security screenings at U.S. airports. Still, emails obtained by CNN, which first reported the possible deployment, indicate that officials acknowledge there is"some risk" that pulling so many people would diminish their resources and could hurt aviation security.
Emails obtained by CNN indicated that some of the volunteers could include air marshals and others from the agency's"Security Ops" unit.
