The report provides a review of FAA's domestic civil aviation security program, and makes several recommendations. Although the specific nature and extent of the security deficiencies varied among airports, the types of deficiencies identified are such that if left uncorrected, they could allow unauthorized persons access to air operations areas and aircraft. Chief among the problems found are inadequate controls over personnel identification systems and over access to those parts of the airport where aircraft operate. Recommendations are: require air carrier and aiport officials to inventory identification badges; ensure that appropriate controls over identification systems are implemented where needed, and; reemphasize the responsibility of aviation employees to challenge unauthorized persons and to properly display employee identification badges.
