Homeland Security Preparing for Space Travel
Space tourists must be screened to ensure they
are not terrorists
Space tourists must be screened to ensure they are not terrorists, according to proposed regulations from the US Federal Aviation Administration.
The draft report’s suggestions aim to prevent a terrorist from destroying a spacecraft or using it as a weapon.
“The public interest is served by creating a clear legal, regulatory, and safety regime for commercial human space flight.”
I’m confident the TSA will maintain the same standards they use for sub-orbital flight.
