Now, your worries about your wandering child will be over. Your child can wear the transmitter around his neck or on his wrist.

News for Travelers

Black Diamond Check PointsWASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) today announced the expansion of its popular “Self-Select Lanes” to six additional airports by the end of April.

 

Salt Lake City International and Denver International Airports instituted the self-select lane process two weeks ago and have seen an overall increase in throughput and greatly increased customer satisfaction. The term “Black Diamond” comes from the signs used in skiing to denote skill level suggested for specific runs.

 

“In keeping with Secretary Chertoff’s instruction to examine our screening procedures, TSA is looking for ways to improve the passenger screening experience while increasing security,” said Kip Hawley, TSA administrator. “Simple yet effective, this program empowers passengers and gives federal security directors a way to create operational efficiencies at their checkpoints.”

 

Self-Select Lanes are comprised of a series of lanes designated by signage that directs passengers based on their travel needs and knowledge – Expert, for the business traveler who flies several times a month; Casual, for passengers that travel less frequently, but are familiar with the security process; and Family/Special Assistance, for passengers traveling with small children or strollers, elderly passengers and passengers who may need special assistance.

 

While expert travelers have experienced a significant reduction in wait times, TSA has also observed the family lane running much smoother as well. By giving families more time to prepare for screening, we are discovering many less prohibited items during the screening process.

 

“What we have seen is a calmer checkpoint, happier passengers and significantly lower wait times for the most experienced travelers,” said Salt Lake City Federal Security Director Earl Morris. “This is a win-win situation. Security is best served by a calm screening environment and the passengers get a less stressful, more efficient security experience.”

 

TSA is in the process of selecting additional airports based on input from our partners. Airport selection is based on a number of factors, including checkpoint configuration, stakeholder support and passenger population.

TSAWhenever you travel it’s always a good idea to read up on the TSa security requirements.  Nothing is worse than getting to the airport and having to throw your stuff away or mail it from some hit-or-miss mailbox.  The frustrations in the airport are many and the TSa security agents have heard it all before.  Keep in mind that you’re not the only person traveling and if you’re having truoble you aren’t the first nor are you likely to be the last.

 

Your best defense against getting harrassed or searched is to be prepared.  Be prepared to be searched.  Be vigilant in removing metal and in packing your carry-on.  Check the websites, there’s plenty out there for how to prepare for flying.  No one is obligated to anyone in anyway in an airport.  It’s all up in the air and is the equivalent of a benevolent military state.  Don’t be fooled into thinking you can pull the “customer” card when you’re there.
