Because of the higher threat level, the Transportation Security Administration, which is in charge of security at the nation's airports, announced four new measures Monday night.
The TSA is ordering airports to conduct random inspections of vehicles, increase canine patrols, and increase the overall law enforcement presence in and around airports.
The agency will also be putting up temporary signs inside airports asking the public to be aware of the increased threat level and to report unattended bags and suspicious behavior.</font>
