Description

Five years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, concerns continue to be raised about the nation¿s system for protecting commercial aviation. One layer of the aviation security system involves the ability of the fed. gov¿t. to respond to actual or potential security threats while a commercial aircraft is in flight. This report examines in-flight security threats & current fed. efforts to respond collaboratively to them. It is an unclassified version of a previously classified report, & summarizes the overall findings & recommendations while omitting sensitive information about the in-flight security threat resolution process, including specific agency roles & responsibilities & coordination challenges that have occurred & steps agencies have taken to address them.
