In recent years, U.S. security measures have remained reminiscent of the past, in that the toughest measures were focused not on terrorist bombs on planes, but rather on potential hijackers and drug trafficking.
At the same time, its prior role as promoter of aviation may have mitigated the FAA's security enhancement demands, the continuing effects of which remain to be seen.
The White House Commission on Aviation Security and Terrorism was formed by executive order in August 1989 in response to the bombing.

 Mikoyan MiG-29 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Developed in the early 1970s, it entered Soviet service in 1983 and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as many export nations.
The MiG-29, like the larger Sukhoi Su-27 'Flanker', began development in 1969, when the Soviet Union learned of the U.S. Air Force 'FX' program, which would eventually produce the F-15 Eagle.
Early western speculation suggested that the Ram-L would be very similar in appearance to the YF-17 Cobra and would be powered by afterburning Tumansky R-25 turbojets.

Su-17: Small number (perhaps 24) of pre-production aircraft produced in 1969, based on the longer fuselage of the two-seat Su-7U trainer, with bulged dorsal spine for extra fuel (4,550 L/1,200 U.S. gal total).
