Here is what's changing at airports this summer:
“In the interest of TSA frontline workers' and traveler health, TSA is committed to making prudent changes to our screening processes to limit physical contact and increase physical distance as much as possible,” TSA Administrator David Pekoske saidThursday. “We continue to evaluate our security measures with an eye towards making smart, timely decisions benefiting health and safety, as well as the traveler experience.
The release says that the TSA has already started implementing the changes, but will continue to implement them at airports nationwide by mid-June. In March, the TSA announced other coronavirus-prompted changes, including relaxing the 3.4 ounces or lessWhat are some of the new changes? Travelers should expect the following:Travelers should place their boarding pass on the boarding pass reader themselves as opposed to handing it to a TSA officer. Then, travelers are expected to hold up their pass so an officer can inspect it without needing to touch it.
Making sure you"pack smart" helps reduce time in the screening process. If a prohibited item is found, travelers may be directed outside of security to remove the item before being re-screened in order to reduce the number of TSA officers needing to touch the contents of someone's carry-on. Safety measures that are already put in place include reduced security lane usage, some TSA officers wearing eye protection, TSA officers changing gloves after each pat-down, plastic shielding at many podiums and counters and routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces.at airports, neither the TSA nor the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has indicated any plans to take on that responsibility or when it might start.
