The Statistical Abstract of the United States has been published nearly every year since 1878, and was originally prepared by the Bureau of Statistics, which was under the U.S. Treasury Department. This agency was transferred to the Department of Commerce and Labor when that department was created in 1903 (Public Law 57-87). and renamed the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce in 1912 (P.L. 62-299). According to the notes following 44 U.S.C. §291 (1964 edition), the Bureau of the Census became the publisher of the Statistical Abstract prior to the 1950 Reorganization Plan under the authority of 5 U.S.C. §601.

Nearly all of the older editions are available online. These older editions provide interesting historical trivial, such as the number of post offices in 1882 (46, 231) or the number of Utah divorces in 1948 (2,199).

In it, you'll find summaries of key historic documents, quotes from U.S. Presidents about citizenship, and descriptions of famous U.S. Supreme Court decisions. One interesting section is about the history of patriotic anthems and symbols. The Pledge of Allegiance, for instance, was first recited by schoolchildren on October 12, 1892.

An earlier edition is available online. Or, visit the law library or a Federal Depository Library to read it in person.

The Transportation Security Administration was created in 2001 after the September 11th attack on the World Trade Center as part of the Aviation and Security Transportation Act. It is a division of the Department of Homeland Security. The 9/11 Commission Report, published in 2004, recommended that the Congress and TSA improve passenger screening checkpoint security.

In the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, Congress implemented these regulations, authorizing a pilot program for advanced screening technology at a minimum of five airports by March, 2005, and established funding for this program (Section 4014).

The Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007 ordered additional funds for checkpoint screening establishing a Checkpoint Screening Security Fund (see 49 U.S.C. §44940(i)). The law also stated that the TSA should be screening 100% of all airline cargo should be screened no more than three years after enactment (see 49 U.S.C. §44901).

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 authorized $1 billion to the TSA for checkpoint screening technologies, $700 million of which was used for developing and implementing body-imaging scanners.

For more information on airport body scanning technology, see Changes in Airport Passenger Screening Technologies and Procedures: Frequently Asked Questions, a Congressional Research Service report on the topic.

To submit comments or complaints about the airport body scanning technology, you can submit them through the TSA Complaint Form.
