After the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 (9/11), the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) emerged and presented a new theoretical, practical debate between travel efficiency versus security. Before the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) of 2001 being signed by President George W. Bush, the federal government was primarily focused on preventing Type 1 errors rather than Type 2 errors. According to Frederickson and Laporte (Airport Security, High-Reliability, and the Problem of rationality 62:33–43, 2002), citizens changed their perspective from originally preventing air travel system delays (Type 1 errors) to preventing catastrophic incidences (Type 2 errors). Eleven years after the ATSA was signed, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Modernization and Reform Act in 2012 primarily focused on preventing Type 1 errors by easing the process of the Screening Partnership Program (Public-Private Partnership) to have more efficiency. This comparative policy analysis finds out why the policy-making process returned to focusing on Type 1 errors in airport security by using Kingdon's (Agendas, alternatives, and public policies, 1984) Multiple-Streams (MS) Framework lens.
