Airport Security Update

Airport Security Update: From GovGab
man in an airport talking to customs agents"Surely you heard the news last week that a person on board a flight to Detroit set off a device on the plane. Thanks to the heroic actions of the crew and passengers, he was subdued and the plane landed safely. That’s what I call saving Christmas.
When incidents like this happen on planes, usually a change in airport security follows. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued some guidance to the public about this incident and how it will affect you.
The TSA says that they will implement additional screening measures including explosive detection dogs, law enforcement officers, gate screening, and other measures.
But what does all that mean to you? Right now, security checkpoint requirements remain the same for departures from U.S. airports.
You don’t need to do anything differently, just remember to pack well to get through the line faster, follow the liquid rules and keep prohibited items at home.
You may notice additional security measures at the airport, and you know that additional security measures mean it just might take more time to get through the security line. Be sure to give yourself even a little more extra time to get to your flight."

  1. Why don't we ban flying in the first place. I am not willing to go though checkpoints which people search me and ask dumb questions. A rent-a-car is safer, with no prodes entering my body cavities. Going oversea take a boat. I always thought America was home of the brave but I guess I am wrong.
