BruceinCola, welcome to FlyerTalk!
There is an active discussion on this security development in the dedicated forum on practical issues with airline security and I'll move this to that forum.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/pract...-overseas.html
It'll be up to that forum's moderators to decide if they wish to combine the threads; but, in any case, you'll be redirected to the current location for your thread.
