Traveler Alert: U.S. Response to Glasgow Airport Incident
News & Happenings
July 1, 2007
There is nothing to suggest attacks in the UK indicate an attack in the U.S. However, many airports and mass transit systems in the United States are increasing their security presence as a precaution. Some things travelers might see are:
- increased use of canine teams,
- increased presence of law enforcement and/or TSA security staff in public areas, and
- random security checks on vehicles.
As always, we encourage everyone to be aware of their surroundings and notify a security or law enforcement officer if you see anything suspicious.
