Business travelers don't like to take off their shoes at the airport. This is one thing nearly 30 percent of business travel agents wish they could change in airport security, according to Travel Leaders Fall Travel Trend Survey released today. About 450 travel owners, managers and frontline travel agents were surveyed in August to find out what bugs them, and travelers, most about airport security rules - most of which were instituted after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S.
WASHINGTON - Testing for a new program aimed at getting certain travelers through airport security with less hassle has gone so well that the Obama administration plans to expand it to another round of airports and travelers, the government said Wednesday. The expanded testing will not affect most travelers expected to crowd the airports during this year's busy Thanksgiving travel season. But the government has made other changes in the past year that could make for a less intrusive trip through airport security.
Federal law governing security in the airline industry bars disability discrimination claims brought by an airport security screener, the 1st Circuit has ruled in affirming a dismissal. The plaintiff worked for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as an airport security screener. The agency terminated the plaintiff because a diabetic ulcer on the bottom of his foot prevented him from standing at his post for long periods.
A cache of replica guns and grenades, daggers and hatchets, a slingshot, a pipe bomb -- even a belt made of bullets -- were piled into plastic bins on a table in a side room at Newark Liberty International Airport on Thursday morning. The items and 8 more tons of potentially dangerous and sometimes strange objects are collected each year from passengers trying to get past airport screeners, Transportation Security Administration officials said.
Just when you think airline travel can't possibly become more dehumanizing, a video pops up on YouTube showing a little girl groped in the name of homeland security. Six-year-old Anna Drexel was returning with her parents to their home in Bowling Green, Ky., earlier this month when alert airport security agents in New Orleans pulled her aside for a pat down. Apparently little girls wearing blue pants and white long sleeve sweatshirts with what appears to be a kitten on the front fit the profile of potentially dangerous terrorists.
As an airport security officer, Minnetta Walker took an oath to protect the country against criminals. A federal judge pointed to that oath, the same oath he took, in sentencing the former Transportation Security Administration officer to two years in prison Wednesday.
