National Aviation Security Policy, Strategy and Mode-Specific Plans: Background and Considerations for Congress
27 August 2010This report discusses the US Government's role in establishing national aviation security policy following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks.
In April 2001, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a strategic plan for civil aviation security titled "A Commitment to Security".
