WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The FAMS does not consider risk when initially dividing its annual resources between domestic and international flights, according to the GAO.
"GAO identified three ways FAMS could better incorporate risk into its deployment decisions, in accordance with Department of Homeland Security [DHS] and TSA [Transportation Security Administration] risk management policy and guidance," the report stated on Tuesday.
Moreover, the FAMS does not document rationales for its international deployment decisions because it has not identified a need to do so, the GAO also pointed out.
However, without documentation of the basis for these decisions, neither FAMS nor an external party can effectively oversee these decisions, the GAO concluded.
