The new director of Los Angeles airports indicated Monday that she was taking steps to implement a series of security measures designed to thwart future terrorist attacks.

The RAND Corp., a research organization, proposed the measures last year, describing them as relatively inexpensive but effective. It called for moving passengers out of crowded lobbies and into secure areas more quickly.

It called for increased staffing and more screening checkpoints, as well as vehicle checkpoints at all public entrances.
