Lambert-St Louis International Airport has won the ‘Airport of the Year’ award for security from the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
 

Meanwhile, at a ceremony in Washington earlier this week, Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, won an airport director award from the TSA for the gateway's response during the tornado that struck in April this year.
