If they?re willing to pay for it, the TSA is now allowing certain passengers to bypass some of the hassle of airport security screenings. Aviation analyst Michael Boyd discusses.
>>> passengers to bypass some of the hassle of airport security screenings if they're willing to pay for it. for $100, some passengers can buy into an expedited skree ed screening process that's called precheck. you're allowed to keep your shoes and jackets on while they walk through a metal detector . no more full body scans. one of the ways to qualify is for frequent flyers to be invited by the airline. i'm joined by aviation analyst michael boyd . is this a $100 one time fee or is it $100 every time you fly?
>> i understand it $100 to get yourself front of the line and not take off your shoes. it's pay to play .
>> it's not widely available. it's in nine airports with plans for expansion. a lot of people will be asking is this sufficient to assess a potential security threat. is this enough to keep it safe?
>> no. it's absolutely nonsense. most of the 9/11 hijackers would pass this test. it doesn't make us any safer. on the other hand, it does make it any less safe because we can't get less safe. the screening process is so bad that anything they do isn't going to make it much worse.
>> there are also trying a different thing as far as screening certain paz jers, namely passengers that are p 5 years old and oerld. will changes help focus on passengers that's a greater threat. is this helpful in any way, in your opinion?
>> it's sheer nonsense. if you tell somebody over 75 we're not going to pat you down, that makes everybody else a bigger threat. we're not thereto to look for threats. they are there to look for poinpoi pointy objects. the whole thing really shows the great respect for the people in the blue shirt , the officers. the reality is the system they work for is more tow and go.
>> my thanks to you.
