TSA is developing a faster airport security screening process for passengers considered to be low security risks, said a Reuters report.

An EU report said there appears to be a gap between procedures and actual behavior when a threat is recognized and especially when it is acted upon.

The Transportation Security Administration said it is sending three screeners for remedial training after a passenger carried three box cutters onto a JetBlue plane at New York's Kennedy airport.

The US Senate rejected an amendment that would have blocked Transportation Security Administration employees from having collective-bargaining rights.

A proposal offered in the Senate would make misusing body scanner images a federal crime, punishable by up to a year in prison.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) began testing a new, more modest body scanning system at three airports.

This year will mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11, and for many high-risk areas, security remains a work in progress. A perfect example is all the hype that various airports are generating for using—or more to the point, how they are using—body scanning equipment.

TSA chief John Pistole said he has decided not to expand a program that allows airports to replace government screeners with private screeners, saying he does not see any advantage to it.

The Springfield-Branson National Airport wants to opt out of TSA security and go to a private company.

 

By the end of April, terror threats to the U.S. will no longer be described in shades of green, blue, yellow, orange and red, says an AP report.
