With official publication of the Transportation Security Administration’s notice of proposed rulemaking on its Large Aircraft Security Program slated for today, Michal Morgan, general manager of the agency’s general aviation branch, said she is looking forward to receiving comments and suggestions from the general aviation community.

In an interview last Friday, Morgan said that airplanes weighing more than 12,500 pounds have “significantly more capabilities” than smaller aircraft and that TSA is trying to mitigate the risk that nefarious individuals will use such airplanes as weapons or to carry illicit materials.
