Morphine Prince 109,645 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 A U.S. government spokeswoman says new security measures on incoming flights to America from abroad “will impact all flights.” Lisa Farbstein, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that affects the approximately 2,100 flights arriving daily to America. She said in a statement that the new security measures “may include” enhancing passenger screening, heightened screening of electronics and increasing security measures. She says both U.S. citizens and foreigners will face the same security. The agency’s comments come as six global long-haul carriers said they will start asking passengers security questions before they board flights at the request of U.S. officials.

calmar 22,766 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I really did try, moderators, to come up with a thoughtful response to this topic, but I believe nothing could accurately describe my feelings on this revelation better than this single response: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tthen 4,621 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I used to fly often between here (Riyadh) and NY/DC. Flights to the States would have extra security by the gate (laptop/device checks and a bunch of hectic measures). Now this? Let's just say that I'm glad that I don't really visit much anymore.

When I applied for my student visa there were countless questions along the lines of "Are you a terrorist?!" and etc (no joke). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuchulainn 3,040 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I don't understand the issue? Seems like an increase in security. Isn't that good? No one seems to know what these procedures are yet except that they will be required by 100% of travelers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
