Even before the massive task of flying during the busiest times of the year, travelers at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with the choice of the radiation-emitting full-body scans or extensive pat-downs taken this month in U.S. airports are facing.
These security measures have intensified threats of slowing holiday travel as well as an increased public outcry from people who asked the practices traumatic and unnecessary call.
But Transportation Security Administration officials say the techniques are needed to protect travelers against terrorist acts committed as the unsuccessful attempt last year on board a flight from Detroit-Amsterdam.
"What will I like a terrorist," said Maureen Hoppe, 71, of Pleasant Ridge, as she went to U-Bahn in the week.
Hoppe said she was drawn from a line earlier this month before boarding a plane from Arizona to Metro and was subjected to an intensified search. She said she was not told why she was chosen for the search.
Hoppe said she did not appreciate, however, was not offended by it.
Hoppe dismissively waved their hands when asked further about their search.
Her husband, Paul, 71, who went through an X-ray scanner, said the unit it fear was for his health despite TSA officials say, the radiation dose so low that it would have been exaggerated daily exposure to them is a health risk re-issuance take.
"The thing that concerns me, is the radiation," he said. "It must bear one thing you are."
U.S. Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn asked the TSA in a letter Thursday for detailed information on radiation, health risks and related issues.
"TSA has to be considered exposing millions of people in the United States, such a risk to a public health problem?" Dingell asked.
Around 52,000 residents of the state will fly into the Thanksgiving holiday, according to AAA Michigan, who expect a jump in travel compared to last year.
All guests must have some form of security checks, the TSA official said it could happen to cause a rise in U.S. airline security fees to pay increased costs for acquisition of terrorist threats.
"There are several different fees discussed," TSA chief John Pistole told Bloomberg News Service on Friday.
The $ 2.50-a-security fee of passengers now added to tickets is "obviously a major source of revenue for the provision of security services. This is one of those strong possibilities," pistol.
Scans, pat-downs
If something is detected in a scan, the traveler must then present in a body search.
Those scans should be enhanced pat-downs, same-sex touch screens refuse thigh, chest and groin areas to include.
Screen can flag a passenger who is of a metal detector or is determined to be a kind of anomaly, according to the TSA.
Gun said on Friday the close quarters strip searches are inevitable in an era of terrorist threats.
"The bottom line is that we try to see that everyone can be assured with high probability that all others can be screened properly on this flight," said gun.
The TSA relaxed the restrictions for pilots on Friday announced that travelers in uniform or on airline business would be allowed to skip some physical security controls at airports.
More scanners planned
There are 385 scanners in 68 airports around the nation, according to the TSA. About 450 scanners in use by the end of the year and another 500 in the next year. Metro began with scanners in July 2009.
