Question
Im a jr at Middle TN ST Univ. In my aiport management class I have been asked this question: what are the airport managers responsibility regarding security at an air carrier airport? Could you add any insight that you have on this Q?
Hi, Chris:
I do not normally/knowingly assist with homework or class assignment questions. However, if you check FAR 139 and the TSA "airport security" regulation (formerly FAR 107), you will begin to find the answers.
Best of luck to you,
