New ID to Be Required of Workers at Airport
From Times Wire Services
Workers must have a new type of identification to get near airplanes at Los Angeles International Airport under a new security plan that took effect Saturday.
Only employees such as fuelers and baggage handlers will be allowed, and their identifications must carry a special sticker, an airport spokeswoman said.
It is believed that the Dec. 7 crash of a PSA jet that killed 43 people was caused by a fired USAir employee who used old identification to evade security and smuggle a gun on board.
