 Holding (aviation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In aviation, a holding (or hold) is an area of airspace used to delay aircraft already in flight.
The primary use of a holding is delaying aircraft that have arrived over their destination but cannot land yet because of traffic congestion, poor weather, or unavailability of the runway (for instance, during snow removal).
Holding entry procedures (which differ depending on the direction the aircraft enters the holding from), and accurately flying the holding, is an essential part of IFR pilot training, and will always be tested on examination flights.

 General Accounting Office Report
The aviation industry is responsible for undertaking the security measures at airports and many of the problems identified-such as rapid screener turnover-more appropriately rest with it.
Providing security to the nation's aviation system is a complex and difficult task because of the size of the U.S. system, the differences among airlines and airports, and the unpredictable nature of terrorism or criminal acts.
Given the extent of the problems, we must reiterate this concern and believe that continuing congressional oversight in holding FAA and the aviation industry accountable for improving the aviation security will be critical to the full achievement of a safe and secure air transportation system.
