TSA Airport Security Alert for Toys With Remote Controls

[haim357]

Hi Everyone,

Citing “credible specific information” about terror tactics Monday, Transportation Security Administration officers stepped up scrutiny of passengers carrying remote control toys aboard airplanes.

The action was not motivated by a specific terror plot, said Kip Hawley, the assistant secretary in charge of aviation security at the Department of Homeland Security. But both in the United States, and internationally, there is concern that common remote control toys could be used to detonate terrorists’ bombs.

'Mission creep' hits airport security

Approach any major airport in the United States in this brave new, post-Sept. 11 world, and there is one message transmitted loud and clear to you — be afraid. Armed police are everywhere. You can't stop your car for more than a few seconds without being warned by an armed police officer that you'd better move on.

Families settle 9/11 suit

More than six years after their loved ones died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the Pentagon, four Maryland families have reached a settlement with an airline and several corporations that they accused of "dangerous long-standing flaws" in security procedures, a lawyer representing the families said yesterday.
