• XNA: From zero security to modern TSA standards (nwahomepage.com) — Bentonville-area travelers relying on XNA might be surprised to learn the airport had virtually no security when it opened just three years before 9/11. Local leaders and TSA officials recall how the attacks transformed XNA overnight, from open gates and minimal checks to today's layered screening, advanced scanners and behind-the-scenes protections that continue adapting to evolving threats.
