Federal aviation bill advances with security boosts
The Senate voted 98 to 0 to begin debate on HR 636 to fund federal aviation programs through 2017 at 33.3 billion, aiding airport capital projects and passenger service while restricting drones near commercial airspace and enforcing new airline fee disclosures, with amendments for tighter perimeter security and VIPR-style checks. The changes would cut employee portals, expand training for active shooters, and deploy bomb-sniffing teams.
