Keeping Clear Airport Security On The Mind

By Greg Diener


When we have to worry about the threats associated with terrorism, the first thing we usually focus our attention on is airline security. The airlines and the TSA have to be faced with looking at all the growing threats that are being dealt with around the world and have to find ways with how to make their passengers safe. The issue of clear airport security is a circumstance that has to be placed as a serious matter.

Unfortunately we have seen on the news a ton of complications about how broken the security system is at our airports. Some folks have complained about unsuitable screenings at the security gate from the TSA, a few travelers have been forced to cancel flights due to airport shutdowns over possible security threats that have later turned out to be nothing serious. This has only served to add annoyance for tourists when they try to get on a plane. Most passengers are mindful of the risks corresponding with air travel, but they want to feel like security is working with them and not against them when they are just trying to board the plane.

Speaking as a person who on average is one at least one plane ride every decade, one of the biggest reasons why I do not like going on airplanes is I don't feel that risk management is dealt with in a serious manner at airports. I normally notice at least five problems that I could see would lead to a potential problem where an unfortunate accident may occur at the airport or on the plane itself. These are things that have to be dealt with and addressed to the TSA so that these problems can be avoided.

New services are being resolved to slightly lessen the precautions about security at the airport. One service known as CLEAR allows a traveler to provide their information for a yearly fee to give them the opportunity to move through long security lines and reach their flight a lot quicker. While still subject to the standard TSA security screenings, methods like these have the chance to make the lives of travelers much easier.

It is not difficult to comprehend that there may come a time where airline travel will not be mentioned with some degree of fright about how broken the system is. If new solutions can come to the table, and answer the numerous problems about security while keeping an eye on threats in an adequate matter, every passenger will win out in the long-run.
