What was the result of the second LAX active shooting in which a TSA officer was killed?

• A. TSA expanded coverage to all international airports.
• B. The FAA was dissolved.
• C. 2013 Congress moves to require Active Shooter plans for airports.
• D. A new TSA security training program was introduced.

Answer: (C)

When airport security incidents expose gaps in response, organized policy changes focus on making those responses consistent and enforceable. After the second LAX active shooting where a TSA officer was killed, the notable result was a federal push in 2013 to require Active Shooter plans for airports. This represents a concrete legislative step to standardize how airports prepare for and respond to such threats, ensuring coordination with law enforcement and rapid, structured actions across facilities.

This outcome isn’t about expanding TSA coverage to all international airports, dissolving the FAA, or introducing a general training program; it specifically reflects the move to mandate active shooter planning across airports.
