Prior to the Act, security screening was largely the responsibility of each airport. Counter agents asked three questions of passengers checking luggage:
Visitors had to pass through metal detectors and have their carry-on luggage X-rayed before entering the concourses, but X-raying of personal items was not required. A boarding pass did not have to be presented at the checkpoint, as non-travellers were allowed to enter the concourses. |
