From the Paper:

"By 2000, it was observed that Hartsfield had become one of the busiest international airports of the world, with respect to passenger traffic and takeoff/landings. Plans for constant improvements continue to this day. In 2003, the airport was again renamed as Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport honoring another famous Atlanta mayor Maynard H. Jackson. Following 9/11, security concerns have also encouraged further modifications and upgrades. In 2004, a $215 million Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Baggage Security Screening Project was undertaken to handle the new security requirements for air travel. Adequate arrangements are also being made to handle concerns and issues of passenger safety and evacuation should there be a threat within the airport. "
