Security studied at Atlanta airport

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.
