Airport and airline employees will soon face tougher security measures being implemented by the TSA, CBS New York reports.
Homeland Security made the announcement just weeks after a gun-smuggling operation in which a bag handler and ramp agent were involved.
Among the potential security measures could be airline-employee screenings, additional TSA patrols and random security checks.
The Aviation Security Advisory Committee is responsible for reviewing airport safety nationwide.
