     systems and determine whether those that lead to secure areas 
     of the airport should be monitored or how breaches can be 
     swiftly responded to; and
       (E) specifically target the elimination of the ``piggy-
     backing'' phenomenon, where another person follows an 
     authorized person through the access point.

     The 6-month assessment shall include a 12-month deployment 
     strategy for currently available technology at all category X 
     airports, as defined in the Federal Aviation Administration 
     approved air carrier security programs required under part 
     108 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations. Not later than 
     18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the

  SA 1874. Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire (for himself, Mr. Murkowski, Mr. 
Burns, Mr. Thurmond, and Mr. Crapo) proposed an amendment to the bill 
S. 1447, to improve aviation security, and for other purposes; as 
follows:

       At the appropriate place, add the following:

     SEC.   . FLIGHT DECK SECURITY.

       (a) Title.--This Section may be cited as the `Flight Deck 
     Security Act of 2001'.
       (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four 
     civilian aircraft, crashing two of the aircraft into the 
     towers of the World Trade Center in New York, New York, and a 
     third into the Pentagon outside Washington, District of 
     Columbia.
       (2) Thousands of innocent Americans and citizens of other 
     countries were killed or injured as a result of these 
     attacks, including the passengers and crew of the four 
     aircraft, workers in the World Trade Center and in the 
     Pentagon, rescue workers, and bystanders.
       (3) These attacks destroyed both towers of the World Trade 
     Center, as well as adjacent buildings, and seriously damaged 
     the Pentagon.
       (4) These attacks were by far the deadliest terrorist 
     attacks ever launched against the United States and, by 
     targeting symbols of America, clearly were intended to 
     intimidate our Nation and weaken its resolve.
       (5) Armed pilots, co-pilots, and flight engineers with 
     proper training will be the last line of defense against 
     terrorists by providing cockpit security and aircraft 
     security.
       (6) Secured doors separating the flight deck from the 
     passenger cabin have been effective in deterring hijackings 
     in other nations and will serve as a deterrent to future 
     contemplated acts of terrorism in the United States.
       (c) Aviation Safety and the Suppression of Terrorism by 
     Commercial Aircraft.--
       (1) Possession of firearms on commercial flights.--The FAA 
     is authorized to permit a pilot, co-pilot, or flight engineer 
     of a commercial aircraft who has successfully completed the 
     requirements of section (c)(2) of this Act, or who is not 
     otherwise prohibited by law from possessing a firearm, from 
     possessing or carrying a firearm approved by the FAA for the 
     protection of the aircraft under procedures or regulations as 
     necessary, to ensure the safety and integrity of flight.
       (2) Federal pilot officers.--
       (A) In addition to the protections provided by the section 
     (c)(1) of this Act, the FAA shall also establish a voluntary 
     program to train and supervise commercial airline pilots.
       (B) Under the program, the FAA shall make available 
     appropriate training and supervision for all such pilots, 
     which may include training by private entities.
       (C) The power granted to such persons shall be limited to 
     enforcing Federal law in the cockpit of commercial aircraft 
     and, under reasonable circumstances the passenger compartment 
     to protect the integrity of the commercial aircraft and the 
     lives of the passengers.
       (D) The FAA shall make available appropriate training to 
     any qualified pilot who requests such training pursuant to 
     this Act.
       (E) The FAA may prescribe regulations for purposes of this 
     section.
       (d) Reports to Congress.--Not later than six months after 
     the date of the enactment of this Act, and every six months 
     thereafter, the Secretary of Transportation shall submit to 
     Congress a report on the effectiveness of the requirements in 
     this section in facilitating commercial aviation safety and 
     the suppression of terrorism by commercial aircraft.''.
