Section 109(a) of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) authorizes TSA to take certain actions in eight specific areas listed in the Act to enhance transportation security. The section also requires submission of a progress report to Congress six months after the date of enactment of the Act describing the status of the actions listed in the section, including any legislative recommendations that the TSA may have for enhancing transportation security. This report must be submitted annually until all specified actions are evaluated and implemented, or until a decision is made not to pursue further action. Using the numbering system delineated in ATSA Section 109(a), work on issues discussed in item (1), effective 911 emergency call capability for telephones serving passenger aircraft and trains; and item (4), alternative security procedures for safe medical product inspection, were discussed and closed out in the first report. This second report describes actions taken by the Transportation Security Administration regarding the remaining six statutorily identified items. |
