TSA works on alternative airport screening process for pilots – NextGov
The Transportation Security Administration is working to create an alternative screening process for pilots, the agency’s chief said this morning, amid mounting protests by airline pilots over new airport scanners criticized as invasive and hazardous to health due to radiation exposure.
“Obviously, they are a trusted group in so many different ways, and so it makes sense to do some type of different type of screening which we will explore and we will have a way forward in the near future,” TSA Administrator John Pistole said on CNN’s American Morning.
