security screenings at more than 150 small and medium-sized airports that operate commercial planes with 60 seats or less. that's about 10,000 daily passengers. those passengers and their luggage would be screened at the larger airports like sfo before leaving on their connecting flight. why would they do that? according to cnn the move would save $115 million which could be used to bolster safety at larger airports. tsa's operating theory smaller planes are less attractive targets to terrorists. security expert rick smith spoke to abc 7 news by phone and worries without screening weapons could be brought on to planes. >> you open up a hole there in security, you compromise the entire system. >> reporter: tsa released a statement which says there has been no decision to eliminate passenger screening. no word on which specific airports would be impacted. reporting live at sfo, matt keller, abc 7 news.
