Airport Security Future: No More Touchie-Feelie?


According to a recent USA Today article, an advanced security system will take over at airports within the next decade.

Instead of passengers required to be body-searched by human TSA agents, remove clothing and endure other current inconveniences, they’ll just need to walk through an electronic corridor. Super-sensitive scanners will make all the necessary observations as they pass.

Along with allowing passenger boarding comfort, the state-of-the-art system is expected to be much more efficient than the current manual one. It will be better capable of detecting illegal, as well as potentially dangerous, items hidden on passenger bodies, clothing and carry-ons.

What’s the best airport fast-food chain restaurant for getting a carry-with-you meal before boarding a flight? KLB, Miami FL

A: Of course, there are always McDonald’s, Burger King and Taco Bell. However, airport restaurant prices for the same food are much higher than what you pay in neighborhood branches of the same fast-food restaurants.

If you have time, stop and buy your quick food at a familiar franchise on the way to the airport. Cheaper still, package a healthy meal at home to take aboard your flight.
