Deal with new security measures at airports

Since the beginning of U.S. Transportation Security Administration to tighten security measures in the wake of the attempted bombing of a plane in the rejoicing of birth, and experienced travelers inspection procedures accurate increasingly at airports, such as to undergo additional screening of bags and verify the close of identity and self-inspection complete, which did not exclude children as well. Comes at the forefront of the new procedures, already difficult, for any traveler: Normal inspection shoes, jackets, belts, watches, laptops, mobile phones and keys. But the variation in security measures, from country to country, and from airlines to airlines, and airport to airport, stands responsible for the creation of a state of confusion and discontent among many of the passengers. Some say they have been subjected to the usual routine inspection, while others occur for inspections of multi-faced at different stages of the journey, the majority of international flights to the United States.

The moon tells Carol Goldberg, a lawyer retired from the province of Elk Grove, California, they have gone through and her family during the return flight from the Dominican Republic in early January (January), the usual security procedures at the security barrier. Then their passports were examined for the second time at the gate of the airport, and then underwent handbags they were carrying for the inspection of flour, was the withdrawal of all razor blades before they are allowed to board the plane.

Upon arrival of the family to the Atlanta airport, the family was on the whole international travelers to retrieve the luggage had been examined before, to be re-examined again and go through security procedures again before embarking on the next flight. Carol says: «We could not catch up with the trip planned, although the stop at the airport for two hours», so the advice to travelers is to be patient. And some travel experts expect further changes to the airports in all parts of the world as governments sought to frequenting the prospects of new security technology, including scanners for the body, which house many of the controversy around it, which will be used soon in more U.S. airports. Perhaps aware of travelers within the United States increased random inspections, and the presence of officers revealed behavior, who are looking for signs that passengers may hide something, and expansion in the use of tools such as detectors for explosives, not only at the checkpoints, but in all parts of the airport.

This means that for all passengers need to adapt to this routine, which contradicts the hard security and privacy. But travelers are flexible, have used many of them already on the new security measures.

There are a number of things that make you go through these new procedures is easy: you know your rights under the law of transport safety: Fbamkan travelers to request a self-inspection in a particular area, serves as a isolated or away from the public gaze, and you can ask search you by an officer security of the same sex, although you may have to wait if there is no officer in the case.

Passengers who wish not to be subjected to inspection for metal detectors religious or cultural reasons, can apply for self-inspection as an alternative. It also allows also covers the head, whether religious or not, although they may be subject to inspection or takes them off in case of a private screening area. Carefully safe-purpose packages can seem a threat to the supposed image of X-rays because of the way, which was arranged by purpose. Therefore advised to connect the headphones and wires, mobile phones so as not to seem Kkoma wire suspicious, and even speed up the inspection process. Be clear and do not try to hide the purpose of detection may appear in the second. Verwey Jimmy Counter, director of the site «Tripp Odvaazor Vleights», the site of the Aviation Research on the Internet, he was carrying a block of soap to a gift from individuals when he was returning to New York from a vacation spent in Atlanta. He believed that the density of soap can be a difficulty in identifying him with a baggage X-ray and so placed the highest contents of the bag. So when the officer asked him to search his bag contributed to development of higher soap contents in the speed of the inspection process. The Counter: «What The opening of the bag and saw the soap did not find the need to inspect the rest of the bag».

Clothing for this occasion, such as shoes, pants easy divorce without belts, bras not included in the installation of metal wire, which has already become popular among travelers now. The men of the industry now offering new products to help facilitate the security operation. Scott Gordon, a former corporate lawyer in Chicago, invented 10 years ago clothes «Scott Fest» for the implementation and organization of all his tools. Most recently, he dresses to change the name of «travelers» as a way to avoid an arduous task to empty their pockets for security. Jacket, which contains over 22 pockets and price hits $ 100, can carry all purposes to include the iPod and your glasses, mobile phones, and wallet, and small coins, keys and other purposes. It may be helpful now that some airlines ask passengers commitment to their seats during the last hour of the journey, and without access to the upper shelves.

Gordan says he plans in the fall to provide a new long coat can carry a number of clothes and a laptop in his pockets. After passing through the machine detected using X-ray baggage can be folded into a suitcase coat can be easily carried and stored on the plane.

Another option, such as a bag «Runner», which is described as an alternative where small bags bearing the waist and provides a lot of pockets that can carry a lot of purposes.

The use of laptop bag «This Is» «friendly checkpoints» provide a clear picture does not impede the X-ray image of the laptop, allowing travelers to keep Bhaspathm when passing the security checkpoints at airports without hindrance. This eliminates the inconvenience of having a laptop without a bag, or placed in a box and re-packaged again to walk the carrier. Sell ​​retailer sells 112 models ranging from $ 30 for a bag «Netpack» to $ 595 for a bag «Tumi».

Equip children, some strong moments of anger towards these strict security measures are of parents who see their children are subject to inspection or self-questioning by security officials. Says Kyle McCarthy, editor of the site «FamilyTravelForum.com»: «Children who are selected for secondary inspection at the security gates or departure gates may be the first time that separated them from their parents. Or what they believe are inappropriate behavior. And explanation in advance of the children may face can help to avoid the collapse of the nerves at the airport. The Transportation Security Administration provides video displays pictures of children on the site «tsa.gov / travelers» teaches children how to pass through security procedures and take off shoes and jewelry to pass metal detectors.

Ask for clarification, when Patricia Gray has been selected (58 years) from Andorra in the south of Europe to be subject to inspection politely asked the security men to know why they choose so you can avoid a repeat of the incident. In the last year before a flight from Las Vegas to Park City, Utah, was told that the plastic bag, which put the make-up liquid showed the presence of chemical compounds. It is then recommended to always use a bag «Ziploc» new Makiajkn.

Follow the instructions. That process may seem easy, but the presence in airports recently know what that means. They should put the shoes on the course of a subject in the X-Box to assist security officers in the examination well.

Fluids and Fresheners or gel should be placed in containers could hold more than 3.4 ounces and be clear. There is a list of prohibited purposes published on the site «www.tsa.gov / travelers».

Cooperation is the solution. Says Jurgen Schulz, Auditor and Insurance, Pennsylvania, who recently arrived to the United States from Germany: «It serves both parties, if passengers were better prepared, rather than take a hostile attitude. If some security men more sensitive to privacy issues, this process can proceed with the ease and speed of large ».
