And replace it with ... privatized companies that will reserve more $$ for profit and less on gate agents?

SFO was more efficient than ORD last week. Premier line at ORD on Wednesday was an hour; 5 minutes at SFO on Friday. Same time.

The success of one private contractor at one airport does not prove private contractors at all airports would be better.

Of course. But SFO is the only post-9/11 data point I have. Pre-9/11 security was private and it was fine.

Of course, TSA also brought in the poorly thought out full body scanners https://radsec.org/ which are very slow.

TSA did that? I thought Congress and DHS writ large did that, largely at the behest of contractors looking to get rich.

I thought it was TSA. https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1652-AA67/passenger-screening-using-advanced-imaging-technology … But it could have been a non-TSA part of DHS.

If TSA didn't exist, all the real underlying problems still would--the $$ would only be differently allocated.
