Английская Википедия:Aviation and Transportation Security Act
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA, Шаблон:USPL November 19, 2001) was enacted by the 107th United States Congress in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Act created the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).[1] However, with the passage of the Homeland Security Act in 2002, the TSA was later transferred to the Department of Homeland Security.[2] The legislation (S. 1447) was sponsored by Democratic Senator Fritz Hollings from South Carolina and co-sponsored by 30 other senators.
Prior to ATSA, passenger screening was the responsibility of airlines, with the actual duties of operating the screening checkpoint contracted-out to private firms such as Wackenhut, Globe, and ITS.
Ticket counter agents were required to ask two questions of passengers checking luggage:
- Have any of the items you're traveling with been out of your immediate control since the time you packed them?
- Has anyone unknown to you asked you to carry an item aboard the aircraft?
Visitors had to pass through metal detectors and have their carry-on luggage X-rayed before entering the concourses. Photo ID was not required, as at that time the sterile concourse was still viewed as a public area.
