Transportation Security Administration (TSA)
CMX has a passenger security screening checkpoint in the terminal serving the United Express (SkyWest) flights; the airport's own security-services page presents standard TSA screening procedures (3-1-1 liquids rule, ID/boarding-pass check, bin screening) for travelers passing through it. No evidence was found that CMX uses a private Screening Partnership Program contractor instead of TSA.
