Oakland gets new airport security rule
Boarding pass will be needed at checkpoint; gate searches cut
http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2003/01/15/BA44797.DTL
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">To streamline security, Oakland International Airport will require passengers to have a boarding pass and government identification to get past terminal checkpoints starting today -- but is eliminating unpopular gate searches.
The new rule, which is already in place at 83 U.S. airports and is coming soon to San Francisco International, is aimed at reducing the "hassle factor" for passengers. Assessments for the new procedures are under way at Mineta San Jose International.</font>
