Congress passes aviation bill to close airport security gaps
Congress approved an aviation bill to harden airport security, extend FAA programs for 14 months, and fund operations at current levels. The measure seeks to protect soft targets outside perimeters, toughen insider threat vetting, expand random inspections, and review perimeter security while avoiding privatization of air traffic control. It awaits Obama's signature before FAA funding expires, with no plan to privatize ATC.
