With the efforts of Commissioner Mohajer, the Airport Commission and the TSA, the Transit Lounge was created at San Francisco International Airport to host visitors who are under review for admission to the United States. Prior to creation of this lounge, such visitors with no criminal background were held at the county jail overnight which led to violations of their human rights and created an unfavorable impression of San Francisco and the United States.
