Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Federal Aviation Administration is the primary agency regulating civil aircraft in the United States. It sets standards of legal behavior by which a judge or jury may later decide whether you and your employer are legally liable for negligence in the event of an aircraft accident. #2 The Transportation Security Administration, a new federal agency, was assigned the responsibility for airport security, and the Federal Air Marshal program was beefed up and expanded. #3 The Secret Service is the federal agency responsible for protecting the lives and liberties of the American people. What it does: The Secret Service provides security for US presidents and their families, as well as the vice president, their spouses, and children. Furthermore, the Secret Service is tasked with investigating counterfeit money, passport fraud, and various other crimes. Forgeries, however, aren’t their main concern. Falsified documents used by terrorists are a far greater threat. The agency’s chief stated mission is to protect the First Family against all threats to their safety and security. How to beat them: The organization takes a serious approach to its work. Your first step in preparing yourself for a possible interview with a Secret Service agent should be to study the agency’s mission statement: To safeguard the American people and their property; to safeguard the President of the United States and his family; to safeguard national security; and to enforce the law. You may have heard that President Barack Obama’s daughters are protected by the Secret Service (see Chapter 4). But you may be surprised by how many agents are tasked with protecting members of our nation’s highest office. #4 The Transportation Department is the federal body that houses a variety of agencies dealing with policy and regulation of various means of transportation. The Department of Transportation is responsible for aviation security.
