Washington The Transportation Security Administration recently considered shutting down its program that lets pilots and flight attendants pass through airport security checkpoints without the same type of physical screening as passengers, according to two sources. The agency tells CNN it is now conducting an audit of the program to review potential insider threats.
Instead of ending the program, TSA abruptly made changes to the program on Saturday that include additional requirements to qualify for the special flight crew screening. Jim Gregory, an acting assistant administrator at TSA, said the changes were not the result of a specific threat.
