Security studied at Atlanta airport

WASHINGTON - Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is one of 15 airports to have government employees conduct passenger and baggage screening. <br> <br> The new Transportation Security Administration is studying the 15 airports as it prepares to replace the private companies now handling security. The airports include: Baltimore-Washington, Boston, Chicago O&#39;Hare and New York Kennedy. <br> <br> By November 19, passengers at all 429 commercial airports are to be screened by a higher-paid, better-trained federal work force. <br> <br> These steps were outlined as the new agency prepared to assume responsibility on Sunday for protecting airline passengers. Under the airline security law enacted after September 11, the agency will displace the airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration.
