Shortly after the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, Congress passed a new law that mandated the screening of all baggage carried on all commercial aircraft by the end of Calendar Year (CY) 2002. The Transportation Security Agency (TSA), a newly formed organization that is part of the Department of Homeland Security, was given the responsibility for ensuring that all bags would be screened. To its credit, TSA made sure sufficient equipment was acquired and installed at all U.S. commercial airports to satisfy the spirit, if not exactly the letter of the law.
