Airlines and airports are investing to deliver secure and easy travel for passengers, with biometric technology a key priority.

A bill introduced in the U.S. Senate would increase security outside of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) screened areas.

Having served in the public sector for 30 years, John Pistole is stepping down from his position as director of the Transportation Security Administration in favor of a job in academia.

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 highlights the need for security improvements both in tracking aircraft and screening passengers before they board planes, according to the International Air Transport Association.

Adding more security measures at U.S. airports might not be worth the cost, according to a new report, which notes that it might even make sense to relax some of the existing security tactics.

The number of guns confiscated from passengers trying to board planes in the U.S. jumped 20 percent in 2013 to 1,828.
