When Congress passed the first Judiciary Act of 1789, the U.S. Senate confirmed President George Washington's appointment of the original thirteen U.S. Marshals (The Judiciary Act of 1789,2002).

Temporary measures, which saw deadbolts and crossbars installed on existing doors, were introduced by many airlines following the terrorist attacks of September. Those changes, which are to be made mandatory, will incorporate new, enhanced standards, and will affect more than 6,000 aircraft.
