We are changing international airport procedures yet again. In the wake of the the attempted Christmas terrorist attack, the Department of Homeland Security has gone to work with global partners, including the United Nation's specialized agency International Civil Aviation Organization to improve screening methods for all U.S. bound flights. Random screening measures will now not just apply to Middle Easterner, Pakistanis and Yemeni but will be determined by secret security profiles not determined by someone's nationality. American citizens may also be selected for special screening at the airports. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano: “These new measures utilize real-time, threat-based intelligence along with multiple, random layers of security, both seen and unseen, to more effectively mitigate evolving terrorist threats."

And give yourself plenty of time at the airport. Weiterhin Gute Reise - Bon Voyage - Buen Viaje!
