New US Air Security

From the TSA website:
"Secretary Napolitano Announces New Measures to Strengthen Aviation Security"

After reading the same basic story from different sites and articles I think that this new security procedure will be a good compromise. It does profile people but uses real-time descriptions of people to narrow the search. It will be used on both Americans as well as foreigners. While the US can't force airports in other countries to do the same procedures they can ban airlines from entering American airspace (so most countries, if not all, will implement them.)

On paper this should work well, but not all things that are good on paper work effectively. It all depends on how "real" this real-time information is sent out and used. It also depends on how well the TSA and other government agencies are trained to read, understand and carry out the new procedures. I hope this does work and keep people safe.
