New Airport Screening Procedures for Children

There’s been a lot of talk lately regarding the screening procedures for traveling children. Many parents are outraged and unhappy with the way their kids are treated at airports. So the TSA is now rolling out new procedures to reduce the number of pat downs at airport checkpoints. The new rules say that children under 12 years old will be allowed to keep their shoes on. According to CNN, if a metal detector or full-body mage detects a suspicious object, kids are allowed to pass through multiple times in order to identify the problem. The TSA will also have the choice of swabbing children’s hands for explosive residue versus patting them down. Pat downs will be used if the problem or concern persists. There are also pilot programs aiming at reducing the number of pat downs for children that are underway at various airports including Boston Logan International, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International, Miami International, Orlando International, Houston International and Denver International.
