The Transportation Security Administration has new rules regarding security screenings at airports across USA. The rules for airport security have changed drastically over the last 15 years. From bagging liquids to removing shoes, every time people get used to security protocols they are updated. Now, the TSA is modifying them again.
“I feel safer here than most places. More safe here than the highway,” said Larry Sullivan who was flying out of Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Those who used to opt for a pat down, could be mandated to go through Advanced Imaging Technologies, also known as body scanners. Most travelers don’t seem too concerned about the new rules. TSA says the changes are “warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security.” The agency feels they can detect potentially hazardous objects more easily by using the scanners rather than physically searching passengers. However, some people are concerned about what the mandate could mean for those with a physical disability.
