9/12/01 12:40:11 PM — Air traffic remains grounded in the United States. The 
FAA is requiring that Part 107 air carrier airports (airports served by 
airliners with more than 60 seats) go to the highest level of security before 
they are allowed to reopen. Some of those requirements may take some time to 
implement. The FAA has not yet said what will be required before general 
aviation airports can reopen. AOPA continues to work with the FAA to ensure 
that general aviation can get back in the air as soon as possible.

The elevated security requirements at the major airline airports include 
evacuating all passenger terminals and conducting a sweep for dangerous 
objects, establishing police-staffed security checkpoints, discontinuing 
curbside check-in, and identification checks.
