TRB Webinar: Legal Research for Airport Programs – Security Screening

TRB conducted a webinar on Tuesday, February 28, 2017, from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that features research conducted by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) on security screenings at airports. Both criminal laws and security requirements affect airport operations. Those administering these regulations can include airport staff, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), law enforcement agencies, and sometimes even private companies. This webinar featured ACRP Legal Research Digests on how the Fourth Amendment applies to airport screening functions and the impact of firearms laws.
