A press released dated Nov. 15, 2011, states the TSA has made new noticable security improvements to ease the holiday season travel. Two of their proud highlights include new screening proceedures for passengers 12 & under, as well as, expedited screening. TSA administrator John s. Pistole is quoted saying "We are prepared this holiday season to keep passengers safe, as they travel to see their loved ones". Many of us remember the past controveries & complaints regarding child screening, as well as crew member security screening at major/busy airports. Other hightlights include advanced imaging technology units, that now eliminate the image of an actual person.

I'm glad they are realizing that putting children through a process like that should be unwarranted. Some of the videos I've seen are rather disturbing to how its done with little regard to the privacy of the child.
