Our objectives in this report were to determine the frequency with which law enforcement officers carry weapons on board commercial aircraft and to determine if the weapons carriage regulationsboth current and proposedare sufficient to ensure the safety of passengers and the security of aircraft. To achieve these objectives, we interviewed representatives from FAA, the 10 major airlines, and 3 law enforcement officer associations. We also reviewed FAAs current and proposed weapons carriage regulations and the comments that FAA received in response to the proposed changes to the regulation. Finally, we searched a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) database that contains voluntary reports of incidents related to aviation safety to find problems associated with weapons carried by law enforcement officers on board aircraft.
