TSA says that the change would mean travelers would be screened when they arrive at major airports for connecting flights. While many are nervous that this could raise red flags and attract terrorists, TSA claims that the increase in risk is small and that smaller airports are less attractive to terrorist attacks.
If the change does take place, TSA reports that it would save roughly $115 million dollars each year. Wondering what the advantage is to this change, other than avoiding long security lines? TSA says that the change would make use of larger airports’ newer and more advanced security screenings that are available. To read the full report, click here.
