Secure Flight Final Rule issued
On October 22, 2008, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the issuance of the Secure Flight Final Rule. As one of the key recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, the rule transfers the responsibility for pre-departure watch list matching away from airlines and instead to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
