Description

As part of its responsibilities for securing civil aviation, the Transportation Security Admin. (TSA) ensures that all passengers and their accessible property are screened and prohibits individuals from carrying onto aircraft items that it determines to be a threat. TSA maintains a public list of such items, known as the Prohibited Items List (PIL), and updates it as necessary. In March 2013, TSA announced it would modify the PIL to allow small knives and certain sporting equipment onto aircraft. However, several aviation industry groups opposed the decision, leading TSA to reverse its decision to implement the change. This report examines (1) on what basis TSA modifies the PIL and the extent to which TSA assessed risk when considering recent modifications to the PIL; and (2) the extent to which TSA involved stakeholders when considering these modifications. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
