TSA Questions Safety of Venezuelan Airports
Are Venezuelan Airports Safe or Not?

According to a note on the U.S. State Department's website, "Since 2005, the Venezuela government has not permitted the U.S. Transportation Security Agency (TSA) to assess the safety and security standards of Venezuelan airports that provide direct service to the United States, as required by the U.S. Congress. In September 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began to post public notices at U.S. airports to notify passengers of this issue."
