For any airline traveler it is a force of habit to be aware of the concerns going on at the airport. Every passenger has to keep a watchful eye of what is happening in order to combat the threat of terrorism. Although most well-meaning travelers have done their best to keep their safety in-check during these rough times, some people are concerned if clear airport security can be well checked.
During the past summer we have observed different circumstances that have happened at airports around the United States that have led to breaches of multi-million dollar security systems. Some of these breaches have been as simple as scaling through a fence without anybody spotting. If we are putting in millions of dollars in a program we expect to work and it doesn't do what it's intended, what does that say about the people in charge of the system?
We have to keep proper care of airline security and that means trying to take better care in training agents so that they are aware of every threat. For a security agent at an airport they are in a hard spot, they need to check every potential problem that might harm all passengers on a plane, but if your judgment is wrong it is going to cause incredible frustration. If you're instincts are wrong it is going to make some people incredibly angry they had their flight delayed or cancelled.
For the traveler though, there is help for them. New methods like flyclear are helping to give airline travelers the benefit of traveling without having to constantly be in fear of problems at the security line. Passengers for an annual fee can give their information, which can be checked at an airport delivering them the perk of getting to the front of security. Now keep in mind if you use this program, you still have to be patted down at the airport but at least for flyers and security there is some relief starting to enter in the picture.
With these new designs, it is my desire to see airline security become perceived by the people as a process that gives peace rather than annoyance. If we are to become safe when we travel, it is imperative that security and passengers work simultaneously to help stop any crisis that could have the potential of disaster. If we do not correctly identify these problems, then we are going to be asked with the question of "what could we have done better?" That is something that as Americans we need to eliminate at all costs.
