Airport Security Firm To Admit Failures

A leading airport security firm is expected to admit further failures to carry out background checks on its employees, according to the US Department of Justice.

The company, Argenbright Security, was ordered by a court to tighten its procedures after three of its managers were found guilty, last May, of breaking Federal Aviation Administration rules.

As a result of the breaches of employment practise at Philadelphia Airport, the compnay was ordered to pay USD$1.5 million in fines and restitution and put on probation for three years. It was also required to install "a mandatory and comprehensive compliance program."
