Airport officials said Tuesday they are now restricting access to upper levels and balconies of the Hyatt Regency hotel.
They're also testing the audio of their public address system, they said.
Robert Henry, 36, died after jumping from a balcony of the Hyatt Regency into the Terminal A atrium on Saturday, February 2. His death happened just yards away from two Transportation Security Administration screening areas.
The breach of security caused hundreds of airport travelers to have to be rescreened passengers and canceled dozens of flights. In some cases, travelers who had boarded their flights were pulled off planes for rescreening.
Henry's death also happened while TSA workers were working without pay during the partial government shutdown.
