US Adjusts Screening Rules

This is a move that should be seen as expected by most - the United States has adjusted the screening policies for all travelers coming to the country, especially those from fourteen countries that were considered potential risks. Basically, most passengers were being screened before boarding their flights, which was annoying. Not to mention, some of those fourteen countries were offended since they were allies in the war on terror. There were all changes that came in the aftermath of the attack Northwest Airlines flight 253.

Not surprisingly, now that a few months have passed the rules have been relaxed a bit.

The new strategy isn't all that exciting - basically those passengers who will be screened are only those who match intelligence reports. So one day authorities might screen males from a certain country in a certain age range. It's not a huge change, but at least this will reduce inconvenience for many.
