Aviation Security: Further Steps Needed to Strengthen the Security of Commercial Airport Perimeters and Access Controls
Overview In the 2 years since passage of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has primarily focused its efforts on improving aviation security through enhanced passenger and baggage screening. The act also contained provisions directing TSA to take actions to improve the security of airport perimeters, access controls, and airport workers. In this report, GAO attempts to assess TSA's efforts to evaluate the security of airport perimeters and the controls that limit access into secured airport areas. The report reviews efforts to help airports implement and enhance perimeter security.
