	Transportation Security Administration
		TSA issued the existing standard in June 2002, which requires private charter operators using aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 95,000 pounds or more, to ensure that passengers and their carry-on baggage are screened prior to boarding.
		TSA is amending the rule to adopt an international standard, and so now private charter operations in aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight greater than 45,500 kg (100,309.3 pounds), or with a passenger seating configuration of 61 or more will be subject to this rule.
		TSA is establishing a new compliance date for operators of these aircraft, in order to provide them sufficient time to develop procedures required by this rule and the security program.

		TSA proposes database to track all airline passengers: Flight information from all airline passengers, including financial data, can be collected and analyzed under a little-seen regulation proposed by the Transportation Security Administration to track potential terrorists.
		Several documents produced by the Transportation Security Administration late in March [2003] indicate that the TSA actually keeps two main watch lists — one "no-fly" list of people "to be denied transport," and one "selectee list" of people who need "additional screening prior to boarding," according to an internal memo released by the agency.

	Security Changes and the Transportation Security Administration Takeover
		Although the newly created Transportation Security Administration has taken over the screening function at over 400 airports, there is still inconsistencies in the way that security is currently applied at U.S. airports.
		According to this passenger, after she rolled her eyes at the apparent absurdity of this request, the screener refused to let her in the terminal for "not showing the proper respect for the security guard." She was forced to get another boarding pass and nearly missed a flight to a relative's funeral.
		After going through security, she was able to purchase another set of batteries inside the terminal.

	The Transportation Security Administration’s Perspective On Aviation Security (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		TSA’s failure to even begin to plan for the possible transition of airports from the federal screeners to private screeners beginning November 2004.
		TSA has already reviewed the proficiency of nearly two-thirds of its screeners as part of its “right-sizing” effort and will incorporate these results as part of the re-certification process for the entire screener workforce over the next several months.
		TSA says that while it cannot disclose the specific sources of information on which it will base its risk assessment, it will provide a passenger advocate office to work with individuals who believe they have been denied boarding or subjected to additional scrutiny in error.

		This rule is being adopted to improve the qualifications of individuals performing screening, and thereby to improve the level of security in air transportation.
		Given the current security risks, the potential for damage these larger aircraft can cause, and the need to protect areas that are designated as sterile, TSA believes it is now appropriate to require these operators to ensure that passengers and their accessible property are screened.
		In addition, in order to implement its new statutory authority to protect sensitive security information in all modes of transportation, TSA will amend the SSI regulation to specifically cover information in all modes regulated by the Department of Transportation and relevant entities in those modes that may create and receive SSI.
