A Transportation Security Administration review report is calling for enhanced active shooter training along with significant procedural changes to improve security at airport checkpoints nationwide. The call to action comes almost six months after a shooting at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in November 2013, which killed TSA Officer Gerardo I. Hernandez and injured two other officers and a traveler.
The incident marked the first time a TSA employee had been killed in the line of duty since the agency was formed in 2001. In response, TSA Administrator John S. Pistole ordered a comprehensive review of the policies and procedures at LAX and airports across the country. The review was released on March 26 and recommends a wide variety of actions to improve airport security.
