"The goal of this legislation is to ensure that a hijacker can never again board and take over another U.S. airplane. Restoring public confidence in air travel is vitally important to our national security, as well as the U.S. economy. I hope this legislation will go a long way toward achieving that goal. The bill works to boost public confidence in the security screenings at our airports. It requires mandatory X-raying of all baggage, including checked luggage, before it gets on the plane. Criminal background checks will be given to airport workers with access to restricted areas, and armed law enforcement officers will oversee screening areas and the tarmac. The bill also stipulates that airplanes be fitted with reinforced cockpit doors, armed federal sky marshals accompany more flights, and the Federal Aviation Administration may allow pilots with the proper training to carry guns."
