U.S. airport security improves since screening lapses

Travelers stand in line to go through Transportation Security Administration (TSA) check-points at Los Angeles International Airport in Los Angeles, U.S., May 31, 2016.

USA: The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is working to improve airport screening after major lapses last year, a U.S. government investigator said on Tuesday, adding that the agency has embraced oversight.

"As a result of our audit reports ... TSA is now, for the first time in memory, critically assessing its deficiencies in an honest and objective light," said John Roth, inspector general of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the TSA's parent agency. "We are generally satisfied with the response we have seen at TSA."
