US To Impose New Airline Security Measures

US To Impose New Airline Security Measures
April 2, 2010

The United States will implement new airline security measures this month to replace mandatory screening of passengers from 14 countries, a step that had angered some allies when it was imposed after a failed bombing on Christmas Day.

Security has gotten a lot more strict in the last ten years because of 9/11 attacks on the United States and also an incident in 2006 in London. One of the biggest rules because of teh London issue is the amount of liquid you are allowed to carry on the plane with you. Don't take anything you really care about they may make you throw it away. It upsets us but throwing away your favorite perfume protects you from possible terrorism.

International Airline Demand up 9.5 percent.

In February the demand for international flights, mostly Asian went up 9.5 percent, but it is from last year which we were in a recession. Cargo went up 26.5 percent since last year. Although the demand did go up, it still hasnt reached the points of demand that it was pre-recession. This is valuable because it is showing that things are looking up and are getting better.
