Aviation Security Advancement Act

Summary

Aviation Security Advancement Act - Directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to develop for all U.S. commercial airports standards for determining aviation security staffing standards necessary to provide necessary levels of aviation security, and to ensure that the average aviation security-related delay experienced by airline passengers does not exceed ten minutes. Authorizes appropriations for improving aviation security related to the transportation of cargo on both passenger aircraft and all-cargo aircraft. Establishes a grant program to develop, test, purchase, and deploy next-generation air cargo security technology. Authorizes appropriations for: (1) research in, development, and deployment of such technology; and (2) projects and activities for which airport security improvement project letters of intent have been issued. Requires the Secretary to develop a plan to enhance air cargo security at airports for commercial passenger and cargo aircraft (including supply chain security). Directs the Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to issue an order: (1) requiring all-cargo aircraft operators to maintain a barrier (including use of a hardened cockpit door) between the aircraft flight deck and the aircraft cargo compartment sufficient to prevent unauthorized access; and (2) prohibiting the possession of a flight deck door key to any flight crew member not assigned to the flight deck. Directs the TSA Administrator, in addition, to require the physical screening of each air passenger and their baggage on all-cargo aircraft, as well as a physical search of the aircraft each day and securing, sealing, or removal of access to aircraft unattended overnight. Directs the Secretary to establish a schedule for replacing trace-detection equipment used for in-line baggage screening with explosive detection system equipment at airports. Authorizes appropriations for: (1) next generation explosive detection systems; (2) installation of portal detection systems at airports to detect biological, radiological, and explosive materials; (3) the deployment of Federal Air Marshals; (4) research and development of biometrics technology applications to aviation security; (5) establishment of competitive centers of excellence at the national laboratories; and (6) airport perimeter security technology. Requires the Secretary to report to specified congressional committees on: (1) the air marshal program; (2) certain TSA-related baggage claim issues; and (3) implementation of Government Accounting Office homeland security information sharing recommendations.
