$240 Million in Recovery Act Funding Slated for Enhanced Security at Nation's Airports
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano announced more than $240 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding for new in-line baggage handling systems at 10 additional airports across the country.
“By managing our Recovery Act funds responsibly, we are able to stretch our resources even further to deploy new security equipment to more airports across the country," said Secretary Napolitano. “These state-of-the-art baggage systems will inject critical resources into local communities while making travel safer.”
