TSA revises ‘Playbook’ airport security measures
Following bungled security inspections of general aviation facilities at Nashville International Airport and Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks

Following bungled security inspections of general aviation facilities at Nashville International Airport and Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn., the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) significantly changed “Operation Playbook,” a controversial security program for GA introduced through a pilot program last year.

“NBAA has raised significant concerns with TSA officials over the application of Operation Playbook, including some of the actions taken by local federal security directors at airport general aviation facilities,” said Doug Carr, NBAA v-p of safety, security and regulation. “TSA indicated that changes to the playbook were under way, and the updated version being introduced by the agency should reflect the concerns we raised.”
