Securing Clear Airport Security For All Passengers

By Greg Diener


Some of the biggest problems for travelers include the problems at airport security right before they are about to board their flight. It is very common to hear or read about in the news situations that have led to flights being delayed. The reason is usually because of security gate problems causing potential hazards to passengers on the plane. It has mostly led to anger and frustration for frequent flyers due to the constant reshuffling of their schedule. Clear airport security to these people seems like a fantasy.

We have to ask ourselves while we comprehend that we constantly have to be on the watch for jeopardy in order to possibly save our lives, we also don't want to be put into position where our protection can be easily mishandled. Many people have complained about the treatment they get from stingy security and that's something that should not be tolerated. While it is logical that everybody needs to be checked to determine they pose no risk, it is also total disrespect for an individual who sets no risk.

It gives us concern that security is not taking the proper course of action in accurately identifying the risks at our airports. For people that are queezy about getting on flights, this only adds more reason for them to dismiss every wanting to be on another flight. However, there are some solutions that could potentially change those people's minds.

The positive is new offerings have been entering the picture that can help make the lives of continual travelers less hectic. CLEAR is one such program that allows individuals for a yearly price, the alternative of omitting frustrating airline lines. The consumer provides their information to be recorded onto a card that is reviewed at an airport that uses the system. The card with the information is then scanned and instantly you are verified that you are safe to get onto the plane. While you still have to face the usual TSA security pat-down, this provides a much welcome relief to those who have tight time management.

It is my expectation that if more options come into the discussion, we can not only prevent danger at the airport but we can also help make passengers more relaxed. While we know that the risk of terrorism is never going to leave anytime soon, we have to keep watchful eyes on every risk and take them very seriously. Hopefully we will one day reach a point where we do not view airline security in an doubtful light. However, until we reach that point everybody from the passengers to security to the airlines have to come up with practical methods to prevent any threats from taking shape.
