Volpe opposes federal air piracy task force
Transportation Secretary Volpe told a Senate aviation subcommittee the administration should not create a new federal force to stop aircraft hijacking. He urged local airport officials handle security, arguing a federal patrol would be wasteful and infringe police powers. FAA fined four small airports for failing to post armed guards. A group of 49 congressmen also introduced a bill to empower the President to close American airports that do not cooperate with anti hijacking efforts.
