The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has removed all government security screeners from LaGuardia International Airport in New York from the hours of 11:30 p.m. to 4 a.m. daily, according to a report by New York Newsday.


The change was prompted by TSA cost-cutting measures.


The non-government screening force will consist of guards hired by the airlines. A TSA spokesperson said the guards won't have to perform screening and will work only after the final outbound flight has left LaGuardia each day.
