Take off your shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
FIVE YEARS after the 9/11 attacks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], air travel is markedly safer from terrorists. Ask anyone who has pulled off shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dumped out pockets or unpacked a laptop before walking through a metal detector.
Travelers generally accept the security checks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which can add hours to a plane trip. But this patience isn't fully repaid. Air safety is still short of where it could be.
The latest example is the scaled-back ban on passenger toiletries and liquids as a possibly source of explosives. What began in early August as a no-exceptions rule after a bomb scare,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has now softened to allow travel-size containers and tubes that can be stored in a plastic baggy.
Airlines had howled at the business-chilling delays and inconvenience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as a 20 percent jump in luggage to be checked and sorted. Airports lost money as concessionaires who sold coffee to go or duty-free booze watched sales drop.
After the FBI studied the dangers of liquid explosives,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], experts decided there was little risk in letting small amounts aboard. Why did this decision take two months?
A traveler may be unnerved to know that while passengers and luggage is examined closely,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], air-freight cargo on the same plane is only randomly searched. Next month,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], San Francisco and two other airports will begin a pilot plan to plug this loophole by borrowing luggage-scanning machines and studying the results. Air-freight shippers have fought the searches as unworkable and delay-causing.
That's one example of a step that's overdue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if the country is serious about safety in skies. Security needs to be improved more quickly and efficiently. All the angles need to be anticipated and weighed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not handled with a hurry-up answer that's changed later.
