Huntleigh Corp. v. Louisiana State Bd. of Private Sec. Examiners 906 F.Supp. 357

The Huntleigh Corporation contracted with individual air carriers to provide pre-departure screening at airports.  Huntleigh brought an action challenging the State of Louisiana's enforcement of State regulations regarding the services provided by the corporation.  On Cross-Motions for Summary Judgment, the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana held that the Louisiana Private Security Regulatory and Licensing Law governing the registration and training of private security officers performing pre-departure screening at airports, affected "services" of air carriers and therefore was preempted by the express preemption provisions of the Airline Deregulation Act and the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act.
