9/11 Classified Information
The FBI is leading the investigation. The FBI is not coordinating their activities with the FAA. The CASFU is in possession of screening training records, and a list of screeners that were on duty. Washington Dulles CASFO: The CASFO is working wholly in tandem with the FBI. All interviews and record reviews are being jointly conducted with this agency. The East Security Checkpoint and the West Security Checkpoint were the only passenger and carry-on baggage checkpoints for the processing of American Airlines Flight 77. Both of these checkpoints are operated by United Airlines, under the contracting agreement with Argenbright Security Company. The daily equipment logs for the X-ray and metal detector units for these two checkpoints have been reviewed and have been found satisfactory. | " 9/11 Classified Information
Argenbright screener training records have not indicated any discrepancies. Full confirmation of this is still pending. A CASFO agent has reviewed the CCTV camera tapes for these checkpoint activities, and no unusual behavior or screener discrepancies have been noted. The filming is of fair quality. The FAA CASFO has copies of these tapes.
