There is a ton of fear we face as we go into the airport before we take flight. Many of us have to keep track of all the threats going on as we board a plane. We have to always be aware of all the hazards from possible security threats to terrorism threats we see on the news. Security has become a big obstacle that many of us have wondered if we will ever see clear airport security.
Recently, in Myrtle Beach a woman was arrested at a security checkpoint for having a loaded gun in her purse. The woman was not flying, but was given a gate pass to accompany her daughter when she tried to board the plane. This is a case where for once airport security did something right and noticed there was a threat before anybody's life was in danger. You have to wonder really what this woman was contemplating carrying a loaded weapon at the airport while escorting her daughter? I can only wonder what would have happened had airline security not been fortunate to notice the woman's gun in the purse?
During this past summer, we have noticed in the news some potential scary situations that could have caused potential disaster had they not been stopped in time. J.F.K. Airport in New York City a lost jet-skier found his way to shore by climbing the airport's high fence with security failing to notice. Thankfully the man was noticed while he was on the runway and was promptly arrested. In Utah we had a case where a fugitive slipped past the cracks of their security system and stole a small airplane. Thankfully, in that case the plane was stopped while still on the ground. Although these issues did not lead to danger, the fact there was still a breach has led to more doubts among skeptical travelers.
However, airport travelers need not be in fear of any possible issues when they try to board. New products have been set up at security gates that could avoid a crisis at the security gate. CLEAR is one such program being supplied at select airports that allow all everyday airline passengers, the ability to go through airline security quickly. It is done by giving your biometrical information for an annual fee your identification is then stored onto a card which is scanned at a kiosk. It is then followed by some quick tests to check your ID and instantly you are taken to the front of the line. While you still have to face some of the required security checks the TSA provides, CLEAR is one of many programs being employed at airports around the globe to provide passenger safety.
I think that security and airline passengers should work simultaneously hand-in-hand to provide sensible answers to helping solve security issues at our airports. By identifying the threats that need to be stopped, we will help stop havoc before it is started. Passengers need to have the capability to enjoy their flight as they go on their vacation and security should have the functions necessary to shield every traveler.
