ARSA challenges TSA on repair station security
Once again general aviation is put in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation.

Once again general aviation is put in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. This time it comes from the Transportation Security Administration, where there is a great desire to solve the perceived problem of foreign and domestic repair station security.

The TSA called for a public meeting, via a notice in the Federal Register, urging participants to address several specific issues, including the type of security systems currently used at foreign and domestic repair stations; whether repair stations require background checks of their employees; the perceived vulnerabilities of the current system; and the level of spending on repair station security (AIN, March, page 86).
