Given today's catastrophic events, what will be the next level of airport security?
I fully expect passengers to be fingerprinted
before being cleared to board. Carryons will be subjected to additional scrutiny, as will checked bags. In the short term, only ticketed passengers will be allowed on the concourses. I don't know what more the airlines can do, short of strip searches and
going through each passenger's belongings one at a time. Georgia already has a drivers' license print database. Even though
we were promised it would never be used for other purposes, that may be about to change.
