While legislation and\nadministration actions after September 11, 2001 were implemented to strengthen aviation security,\nthe 9/11 Commission concluded that several weaknesses continue to exist. These include perceived\nvulnerabilities in cargo and general aviation security as well as inadequate screening and access\ncontrols at airports. \n \n The 9/11 Commission issued several recommendations designed to strengthen aviation security\nby: enhancing passenger pre-screening; improving measures to detect explosives on passengers;\naddressing human factors issues at screening checkpoints; expediting deployment of in-line baggage\nscreening systems; intensifying efforts to identify, track, and screen potentially dangerous cargo; and\ndeploying hardened cargo containers on passenger aircraft. In addition to these specific\nrecommendations, an overarching recommendation for transportation security policy asserts that\npriorities should be set based on risk, and the most practical and cost effective deterrents should be\nimplemented assigning appropriate roles and missions to federal, state, and local authorities, as well\nas private stakeholders.\n \n In response to the 9/11 Commission\u2019s recommendations, the National Intelligence\nReform Act\nof 2004 ( P.L. 108-458 ; 118 Stat. 3638) was enacted on December 17, 2004. The act contains\nnumerous aviation security provisions, many of which address 9/11 Commission recommendations\nrelated to aviation safety.
