In an X post on Monday, Sen. Mike Lee called for the Transportation Security Administration to be eliminated.

"It's time to abolish the TSA," the Utah Republican said. "Airlines can and will secure their own planes if a federal agency doesn't do it for them.

"They'll do it better than TSA, without undermining the Constitution and with less groping -- showing more respect for passengers."

Lee didn't offer many details about how to replace the TSA, but his post received 22,000 "likes" and was shared 8,200 times.
