Inside TSA’s $781 Million ‘Horizon 25’ Plan Reshaping US Airport Checkpoints Through 2028

This month marks 25 years since the September 11 attacks in the United States, which killed nearly 3,000 people. The tragedy led to major changes in the way airport security was handled across the country. On November 19, 2001, President George W. Bush signed the Aviation and Transportation Security Act into law and established the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The agency took over airport security from private companies and placed passenger screening under federal control.
