new rules?
Been outside the US of TSA for a while now and missed all the new rules

I got the 2ndary screening for flights into the usa and also the 1hr sitting being bored thing, but anything else?
are the body scanners still optional? any other rules/reg?

One anecdote: We have an Italian AFS exchange student living with us in DC. His girlfriend and her father were planning to visit next weekend. After the new rules went into effect after the Christmas incident, visit was cancelled, because the girlfriend's dad did not care to deal with the nasty new security involved in flying to the US of TSA.

All international airports will have to put into the secondary screening before entrance into the aircraft. Not outbound flight out of USA. Only for inbound flight coming from Europe, Asian, African, Pacific, South American, Latin Americam, too. Please ensure all passengers will have to put random screening at the gate before entrance into the aircraft.
