Most of the major recommendations of the White House Commission on Aviation

Safety and Security (the Gore Commission), issued in 1996 and 1997, all
concerned dealing with the explosives threat: immediate deployment of
explosives detection technology; partial bag-passenger match on domestic
flights; additional deployment of bomb-sniffing canine teams; and automated
passenger profiling (for passengers with checked baggage only) . This focus
was reflected in the two implementing laws, the Federal Aviation
Reauthorization Act of 1996, and the Airport Security Improvement Act of
2000.

Thanks. This is excellent. My large apologies for the last minute request.
If
you could draft a sentence about implementation of Gore Commission
recommendations, I would be most grateful. Thanks again.

Quoting William Johnstone <wjohnstone@9-llcommission. gov> :

> The Air Transportation Security Act of 1974 was enacted specifically to
> address the hijackings of the late 1960s and early 1970s. It created the
> basic security framework for dealing with hijackings still in place on
9/11:
> FAA-issued and enforced security rules for airlines and airports;
> prohibitions on carrying of weapons onto aircraft; and pre-boarding
> screening of passengers and baggage for weapons.

> The Aviation Security Improvement Act of 1990 sought to implement the
> recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Aviation Security and
> Terrorism, which was created in response to the terrorist destruction of
Pan
> Am 103. Among its many provisions, it sought to accelerate the FAA's

> Let me know if you need anything more. (I have lots of stuff on Gore
