Strategic Goal: Prevent security incidents in the aviation system.
* No Security Incidents. "Security incidents" means criminal or terrorist acts against commercial passenger air transportation that is subject to security regulation during which weapons, firearms, incendiary or explosive devices are used. These acts must result in hijackings, sabotage, bombings, aircraft piracy, or attacks within the secured areas of airports that could cause fatalities or serious injuries. This definition excludes: Hoax hijackings or bomb threats; unruly passengers; and international disruptions in air traffic service.
* Explosive Device and Weapons Detection: Improve the ability to detect improvised explosive devices and weapons that may be brought aboard aircraft.
* Airport Security: Prevent unauthorized access to aircraft and improve security at airports by a specified* percentage from a 1999 baseline index derived from assessments and tests.
* Airway Facility Risk: Increase the number of FAA facilities fully accredited as meeting security standards to a specified* percent.
FY 2001 Performance Goal:
* Explosive Device and Weapons Detection: Increase the detection rate for explosives and weapons that may be brought aboard aircraft. </font>
