"Security procedures continue to evolve for air travelers. Last week we talked about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) increasing security at U.S. airports in response to the incident on the December 25 flight.Yesterday the TSA implemented new air travel security measures, and these will have an effect on people traveling to the United States from other countries. There will now be more pat downs, carry-on bag searches and random screenings happening in foreign airports for travelers headed to the United States. Travelers from or departing from countries the United States considers a State sponsor of terrorism will receive the highest levels of scrutiny.
The media keeps talking about the prospects of advanced imaging technologies in airports. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if advanced imaging will become a requirement before boarding a flight. There are already some of these machines in use in airports in the U.S. and I know that not everyone is very happy about the idea of widespread use of these new imaging technologies. I haven’t encountered one in my travels yet. Have you? What are they like"
