SFO To Take The Lead In New Security Plan

The new federal office in charge of airline security says San Francisco International Airport will be among the first group of airports to have government employees conduct passenger and baggage screening. Fifteen airports are being studied by the new Transportation Security Administration as it prepares to replace the private companies now handling security. By November 19th, passengers at all 429 commercial airports are to be screened by a higher-paid, better-trained federal work force.
