2 Security Restrictions at Airports Lifted by FAA
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that it has lifted two of the security restrictions imposed at the nation’s airports at the beginning of the Persian Gulf War, allowing a resumption of curbside baggage check-in and the removal of certain security fencing around parking areas.
At Los Angeles International Airport, spokesman Lee Nichols said United Airlines has already resumed curbside check-in, and other domestic airlines will do so in the next few days. But, Nichols noted, the Bradley International Terminal has never had curbside check-in and will not have it now.
The FAA said it will continue to stop non-passengers at security screening points and will still bar them from boarding areas for the time being. Officials said, however, that they want to remove these restrictions as soon as possible.
