| CHANGES TO U.S. AIRPORT SECURITY LIKELY TO INCREASE SECONDARY SCREENING |
|
New procedures to include more randomness and increased canine patrols, new lists of permitted and prohibited items announced
Airline passengers will be able to take small scissors and screwdrivers aboard planes again starting December 22. However, officials say that under the new plan, more passengers will likely be subjected to secondary screening, and pat-downs will include arms and legs as well as the torso.
