New Security 👁Screenings May Affect 😓Thousands Flying To The 🇺🇸US
Approximately 180 airlines flying more than 300,000 people into the United States every day will have to comply with new "enhanced security screenings" from the Department of Homeland Security and TSA.
International and domestic airlines flying into the US from 280 airports across 105 countries will be required to implement the screenings — and if they don't, passengers on those flights will be barred from carrying any electronics larger than a cell phone on the aircraft, including in their checked luggage, a senior DHS official said.
“It is time we raise the global baseline of aviation security," DHS Secretary John Kelly said in a press conference on Wednesday. "We cannot play international whack-a-mole with each new threat. Instead, we must put in place new measures across the board to keep the traveling public safe and make it harder for terrorists to succeed." DHS declined to detail exactly what the new security features will be — but said they are "intelligence based and threat driven."
