Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Transport Workers Union of America.The short explanation of this alert was: A bill introduced in the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security will finally address the gaping hole in America's air travel security posed by foreign aircraft repair stations. H.R. 1981, introduced by Reps. Jim Langevin, Bennie Thompson and Sheila Jackson Lee would require the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to stop ignoring a two-and-a-half year old Congressional mandate to issue and enforce security rules for third-party repair facilities that work on U.S. aircraft. Unlike conditions at domestic repair stations, foreign repair stations, for example, do not require secured, limited-access areas or criminal background checks.
