Abstract:
America's airport security needs can be met more effectively by (1) restructuring the Transportation Security Administration as an aviation security policymaker; (2) devolving screening responsibility to the airport level under the supervision of a federal security director; and (3) requiring the DHS to develop a passenger and cargo security system that employs a risk-based model.
