For this review, GAO evaluated the results of foreign airport and air carrier evaluations; actions taken and assistance provided by TSA when security deficiencies were identified; TSA's oversight of its foreign airport and air carrier evaluation programs; and TSA's efforts to address challenges in conducting foreign airport and air carrier evaluations. To conduct this work, GAO reviewed foreign airport and air carrier evaluation results and interviewed TSA officials, foreign aviation security officials, and air carrier representatives. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-729/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-729.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-729/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-729.pdf GAO-07-729 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-729 Other Written Product GAO-07-729; Aviation Security: Foreign Airport Assessments and Air Carrier Inspections Help Enhance Security, but Oversight of These Efforts Can Be Strengthened; Air transportation Airport security Airports Aviation security Foreign governments Homeland security Inspection Internal controls International cooperation International relations Performance measures Security assessments Standards Terrorism Security standards Title 49 Chapter 449 49 U.S.C.
