Aviation Security: Additional Actions Needed to Meet Domestic and
International Challenges (Chapter Report, 01/27/94, GAO/RCED-94-38).

In the aftermath of the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has taken many steps to strengthen
security at U.S. airports; however, many questions about domestic and
international aviation security remain unanswered.  This report examines
in detail FAA's efforts to (1) assess, in conjunction with the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the security of domestic airports; (2)
determine whether a similar level of protection exists for U.S. citizens
traveling on foreign airlines; and (3) improve security for mail and
cargo.
