Airport Security Tightened
Posted Thursday, January 15th 2015 @ 5am by iHeartRadio’s Cliff Saunders

After the terror attack in Paris last week, and the arrest of an Ohio man who was allegedly plotting against the Capitol, you’re going to see security ramped up as you get set to travel, whether it’s for business or pleasure.

Cathi Banks of Legacy Travel says there are things you won't notice, but there are things you will notice when you check in for your flight.

“After you go through airport security you will notice spot checking. There will be bag searching and more intense inspection after security,” Banks told KTRH News.

Security has been ramped up for years now. Many people get annoyed by how long it can take, and Banks says that can work against you.

“If you get pulled over for extra security, just relax. The TSA is just doing their job. The angrier you get makes it harder for you, so just relax,” Banks explained.



Banks adding that if security notices that you're fidgety in line, you're more likely to get extra screening. The Department of Homeland Security would not talk to us for the story, but in a statement they told KTRH they have no credible intelligence suggesting an attack is coming.

Reminds me a little of my last flight when I was flying out of Panama City and my water bottle flew out of my backpack when I picked it up and hit a female TSA agent in the leg. She turned and looked at me and asked me to not throw things at her (she knew it fell out) and then said that maybe I needed to be frisked. I started cracking up....at least they have some sense of humor.
