Summary

Airport Security Improvement Act of 2000 - Amends the Federal transportation code with respect to aviation security to repeal mandatory criminal history checks in any case in which an employment investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reveals a gap in employment of 12 months or more for which the subject of the investigation does not account satisfactorily. Requires the FAA Administrator to provide by regulation that criminal background checks be done expeditiously. Directs the FAA Administrator to: (1) complete development of uniform performance standards for providing security screening services; (2) prescribe minimum standards for training security screeners that include at least 40 hours of classroom instruction and at least 40 hours of practical training before an individual is qualified to provide security screening services at a regulated airport; and (3) require by regulation that computer-based training facilities intended for use at a hub airport be conveniently located for that airport and easily accessible. Directs the FAA Administrator to enforce compliance with airport access control requirements, including: (1) suspending, or requiring the suspension of, employees who fail to comply with those requirements, with or without pay, for appropriate periods of time; and (2) imposing specified penalties. Directs the FAA Administrator to: (1) work with airport operators and air carriers to implement and strengthen existing controls to eliminate access control weaknesses; (2) require airport operators and air carriers to develop comprehensive and recurring training programs that teach employees their role in airport security and how performance will be evaluated and treated; (3) require airport operators and air carriers to develop programs that foster and reward compliance with access control requirements, discourage and penalize noncompliance, and enforce individual compliance requirements under FAA oversight; (4) assess and test for compliance with access control requirements, and take appropriate enforcement actions for noncompliance; (5) improve and better administer the FAA security database; (6) improve the execution of the FAA quality control program; and (7) require airport operators and air carriers to strengthen access control points in secured areas (including air traffic control operations areas) to ensure the security of passengers and aircraft.
