Clear Airport Security: Just a Concept or Possible Reality?

By Greg Diener


I like going out on a good vacation as much as anyone but there is one thing that I don't enjoy and that is going on an Airplane. I do not like flying to get to the spot I need to go. I would much desire reaching my destination by either the vehicle or the train but if the place I need to reach takes a long time to drive then I have no choice but to use the airplane. It is irritating for me to get on a plane because I know that the believed clear airport security is going to take a long time forcing me to potentially miss my plane.

Not to mention current reports that Newark International Airport saw a carry-on bag with a hunting knife slip within the cracks of airport security. It is a very scary thing to me to know if this made it through the security guards what other things have gotten past the checkpoint that we don't know about. The last challenge we need is a security breach that could possibly result in the loss of life of passengers.

Writing as somebody who dislikes getting on airplanes whenever I read a report about this it makes this another reason why I do not like flying. I have only been on one flight in the last decade and hearing my family's friends complain about how they are viewed at the airport makes me happy I do not get on planes. Between waiting in line, the inconvenience and the different security problems trying to get on the plane along with some of the neglectfulness of security agents I question if safe airline travel can ever be a common thing.

Possibilities are being made to help resolve some security troubles. One particular company is using a service where frequent travelers have to pay an annual fee to use the biometrical records to be accumulated. As soon as you reach the airport this system scans your information and permits you to move in front of the security line and get on the plane easier. Research these solutions to learn more about this emerging program and how it operates.

I am positive if they find a way to make airline travel easier and safer, I may potentially want to get on more flights. I sense that more people should work together to find the best viable solution to solving the problem of airline security. We do not want to have something terrible happen and ask ourselves "we could we have done" if we answer the problem now we won't have to ask it later following a tragedy.
