Aero-News Quote of the Day

“Over the last decade, this Subcommittee has heard from constituents, colleagues and industry stakeholders about TSA’s impact on the passenger experience and the civil aviation system, Concerns include the imposition of passenger screening procedures, such as the enhanced pat-downs, the use of Advanced Imaging Technology machines, and the lack of clarity on alternative screening procedures. While TSA has developed some alternative procedures, there is concern that passengers and some screeners are uncertain as to what these alternative procedures are, and fears that both passengers and screeners may not always be aware of what the passengers’ rights are." Source: House Aviation Subcommittee Chair Tom Petri (R-WI) during a hearing Thursday concerning TSA regulations. TSA did not participate in the hearing.
