“The Senate approved a bipartisan aviation policy bill Tuesday that would boost airport security, extend new protections to airline passengers and help speed the introduction of package-delivery drones.
The bill, passed on a vote of 95-3, would also extend the Federal Aviation Administration’s programs and powers through Oct. 1, 2017. That authority is due to expire July 15.
“This legislation does more to enhance security against the threat of terrorism and help frustrated passengers than any proposal in recent history,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., the bill’s chief sponsor.”
