The aviation industry is vital to our nation's prosperity, and protecting this system
             from terrorist attacks or other dangerous acts remains an important national issue.
             Airplanes have been attacked on the ground, bombed in mid-air, and seized in flight.
             Airports have also been attacked, such as, passenger terminals being bombed and
             terrorists with hand grenades and machine guns inside airport buildings. Aviation
             security encompasses all efforts to provide safe air travel for aircraft passengers. It also
             involves measures such as screening cargo, baggage, and passengers, and protecting the
             aircraft from tampering. Terrorism is an increasing problem in the world; therefore, the
             Aviation Industry should require higher means of security.
             Experts and members of Congress recognize publicly that America's airline
             security system is in disarray. Major problems have been identified in both air traffic
             control computer systems and the checkpoint screeners' performance. Weaknesses in the
             computer security area includes the physical security at facilities that contain air traffic
             control systems and the management of security for operational computer systems. For
             example, the Federal Aviation Administration, also known as the FAA, has not secured a
             large fraction of the air traffic control facilities and has not performed the necessary
             threat analyses for eighty-seven of the ninety operational air traffic computer systems.
             The FAA initiated actions to resolve these problems; however, they are still not following
             the security requirements (Aviation Security).
             There has been little progress made by the FAA and the airline industry to check
             the effectiveness of airport checkpoint screeners. There is weak detection of dangerous
             objects and the screeners' performance problems remain. For example, "FAA is two
