AVIATION SECURITY. HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON AVIATION, COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, SCIENCE, AND TRANSPORTATION, UNITED STATES SENATE, 101ST CONGRESS, 1ST SESSION, APRIL 13, 1989

This is a hearing on aviation security. In the weeks following the devastation of Pan Am Flight 103 over Scotland in December 1988, the Transportation Secretary and the Federal Aviation Administration acted quickly to announce passenger and baggage screen procedures designed to minimize the chance of a similar incident. Additional actions were recently announced relative to the placement of explosive detection devices, treatment of FAA security bulletins, and location of additional security personnel. This hearing addresses questions arising from these announcements, such as "Do they go far enough?" and "Who will pay for this increased security?". Included in the hearing are testimony, prepared statements, and additional material submitted for the record.
