General Aviation Security Act of 2005

H.R. 3397, the General Aviation Security Act of 2005, would require all public and private-use airports in the United States to register with the Department of Homeland Security and implement formal, written security plans. These plans would be based on Transportation Security Administration (TSA) guidelines to ensure standardized safety measures are in place across the general aviation sector. For citizens, this means that smaller local airfields and private landing strips would be subject to increased federal oversight and mandatory security protocols similar to those found at larger commercial hubs.
