Abstract

The attempted Christmas Day 2009 bombing of a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines A330 has led to renewed attention to air security by officials at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Several new security measures are being considered and/or implemented in the wake of this nearly successful terrorist attack. The most notable is the TSA's decision to deploy body-scanning machines more widely at U.S. airports and to strongly encourage foreign airports with significant numbers of U.S. bound flights to do the same. These and other security measures are discussed.
