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.

If you rather not deal with the procedures and the dreaded airport experience altogether, book a private air charter for you and your children through Sky Limo.

Sky Limo Air Charter also provides exclusive jet concierge services to help you with reserving hotel rooms and a car rental for a more convenient experience.

Scanner Shirts for Traveling

By now, you've probably heard of these full body scanners they have at the airports. There's a lot of controversy regarding them because of the lack of privacy. These scanners are necessary for everybody's security. If you're looking for a way to hide your private parts when going through them, then you should buy a pair of underwear made by Marc Carey, an attorney from Kentucky. He's designed an underwear line specifically to block private parts when travelers go through these scanners. They're becoming so popular, that he's been having trouble keeping up with demand according to AOL.com. He wanted to find a way to compromise between the TSA and the general public, so he started this line and it's doing very well. There are t-shirts and bikini underwear for women and boxers (men) and long t-shirts for kids. You can find happy faces and stars over the private areas.

TSA Reconsiders Requirements On Private Jets

Back in 2008, The Transportation Security Administration considered having new regulations for the private jet industry and smaller airports. Many private air charters and airports thought they would lose business if the TSA really implemented those new rules. They also thought there would be costly changes required on their end. Under that TSA proposal golfers wouldn’t be allowed to carry their golf clubs inside the private aircraft’s cabin, hunters wouldn’t be allowed to carry their rifles into the private jets either. For general aviation and commercial airlines, these rules make sense for security purposes, but not in private aviation. Plus, these proposed changes would have affected any private aircraft that’s more than 12,500 pounds. These new requirements would have meant that the luggage boarding these private jets would have to be x-rayed and more restrictions on what goes onto the private plane. The passengers would also have to have their names checked against a ‘no fly’ list. In the end, after several discussions, the TSA will keep dealing and overseeing the security requirements only on general aviation.

More than 4,000 Protest Emails to the TSA

According to USA today, there has been a ton of emails protesting new proposed rules by the Transportation Security Administration’s Large Aircraft Security Program which included fingerprinting pilots, watch-list matching of passengers before flights, checking unauthorized persons and prohibited items. Plus, pilots would have to make sure each baggage is inspected and each flight is approved before departure. There has been more than 4,000 emails to the TSA, including 1,500 just last week. This represents the largest public opposition to an aviation- security proposal since the TSA was formed in 2003.
