Mr. Chairman, our testimony today responds to the Committee's request for information about the threat to aviation and what can be done to increase aviation security. The testimony is based on several issued GAO reports and work we have undertaken for the House International Relations Committee and Senator D'Amato. Today, we will discuss (1) the threat to aviation from terrorist attacks; (2) the roles of FAA, the airlines and airports in providing aviation security and the vulnerabilities in the existing security system; and (3) the availability of explosives detection technology and other methods used to address the threat. Finally, we want to emphasize that the Congress, the administration--including FAA and the intelligence community, among others--and the aviation industry need to agree on methods of improving financing security procedures. To the extent necessary, the international aviation community should be involved.
