Here in Europe -- where I am temporarily based -- airport security does not amount to much in comparison to how things are done in the US where they are more strict. I know that and I am prepared for that. What I wasn't aware of until today, though, is that it is US Airport security just got even tougher.
"It’s not going to be quite so “simple” anymore.
In addition to all the things that you are already removing from yourself and your bags, now you can add removing ALL electronics for a separate screening.
Watching television interviews with airport personnel, they are claiming that this really won’t take any additional time.
HUH?!
I just rummaged through my standard carry on bags and found the following electronics that will now need to be taken out of my luggage or purse: Cell phone, charger, and AC adapter, iPod, and digital camera and charger. That’s really not a lot of stuff for someone who travel regularly, and needs to fill time both on the plane and in a hotel room."
I am glad that I got this advance warning from FlyawayCafe. I, however, am now completely dreading the trip I have scheduled in a couple of weeks to our Boston and VA offices.
