NYC Area Airport Security Easier For Seniors


TSA has eased the requirements for air travelers in New York area airports over age 75. No longer will they need to take off shoes, belts and jackets as they go through John F. Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark Liberty.

We can assume that if no elderly terrorists are detected at other U.S. airports, the new regulations will soon also apply throughout the country.

If the TSA proposal goes through, fees will will be higher for security check-ins. Passengers now pay $5.60 per flight leg for the pat-down routine, and it will be raised $1 for each. Of course, that will be just one more add-on to your ticket that makes the advertised $99.99 bargain flight actually cost twice as much.
