ATLANTA (AP) - The government is rolling out its new, beefed up
airport security plan in response to the failed Christmas Day
attack, and travelers who haven't flown in a while my be surprised.
Many spring break travelers are about to have their first
encounter with the system that might see travelers scanned, swabbed
or thoroughly patted down, or even all three.
The Obama administration is committing tens of millions of
dollars to deploy more state-of-the-art screening equipment, and it
is tightening enforcement of some older security measures.
Security lines are expected to grow as the extra measures are
rolled out and travel demand picks up. Airlines, meanwhile, worry
the government will require them to pay to maintain the
checkpoints.
Fliers say they are understanding, but some say they're still
bothered by the extra time it might take.
