“Its (AAM) exciting possibilities promise to enhance connectivity and efficiency, but as we embrace this innovation, TSA must navigate the delicate balance between mitigating security risks and facilitating the immense potential of these transformative aircraft,” noted Rottman. “It is essential that we develop robust frameworks to ensure security without stifling progress, paving the way for a future where air mobility is both secure and accessible to all.”
