Bush signs airport security bill President George W Bush has signed legislation expanding the federal role in aviation security in the wake of the 11 September attacks on New York and Washington. Under the new rules, all 28,000 airport baggage screeners will become federal employees within a year. After three years, airports may seek permission to return to a private system of monitoring. The legislation, which was the subject of intense political wrangling, is the latest in a series of steps to improve safety in the skies and to reassure passengers that air travel is safe. To finance the extra security measures, passengers will be charged a fee of up to $5 per trip. "For our airways, there is one supreme priority - security", Mr Bush said during a ceremony at Ronald Reagan National Airport just outside Washington. news.bbc.co.uk
