17. The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) This act was passed in response to consumer concern with the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 The president signed the act on November 19, 2001 This Act established a series of challenging but critically important milestones toward achieving a secure air travel system. The act made airport security and other modes of transportation the responsibility of the federal government and changed the way that Americans view travel. The particular emphasis of the act is on airport security

18. Implementation and Problems with the act. New security procedures took effect immediately after the act became law. Parking to drop off passengers was not allowed, and restrictions for carry-on luggage were implemented. Access to departure and arrival gates as well as airport concourses was restricted to ticketed passengers. Checked luggage was extensively screened, and all passengers—not just those with checked baggage—were prescreened. The Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System database (in place since 1997), along with the Advance Passenger Information System, provides information on potential security risks used to create a no-fly list. This list has caused problems and complaints about political and ethnic profiling. Screening of passengers at security checkpoints has also raised a number of issues, from privacy concerns regarding screening devices to complaints of racial profiling. Despite complaints about invasion of privacy and delays with long security check-ins, most Americans accepted the provisions of the Aviation and Transportation Security Act. Travelers realized that the freedom to travel without layers of federal oversight and restrictions was lost on September 11, 2001.
