Combien de fois avons-nous répété le geste? Je suis convaincu que les vente de "loafers" ont augmenté depuis le 11 septembre 2001!
"Air travelers will eventually be able to keep their shoes on to pass through security, but the restrictions on carrying liquids on board are likely to remain in place for some time, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told a POLITICO Playbook breakfast Tuesday.
“We are moving towards an intelligence and risk-based approach to how we screen,” Napolitano told Mike Allen during a morning forum at the Newseum. “I think one of the first things you will see over time is the ability to keep your shoes on. One of the last things you will [see] is the reduction or limitation on liquids.”
“The solution to many if not all of these inconveniences is better and better technology,” Napolitano added.
The Homeland Security head did not detail the new technology that will be introduced that would allow passengers to keep their shoes on at airport security checkpoints.
She said research and development efforts on the shoe front are progressing, but technology to perform a quick scan that can distinguish harmless liquids from explosives isn’t there yet.
“In terms of what we see coming in the months and years ahead, it will probably be easier and it looks like it will be to deal with the shoe issues before we can remove the restriction on liquids,” the secretary said.
With the Transportation Security Administration’s screening of children and the elderly generating high-profile complaints, Napolitano warned that any hard-and-fast rules exempting some types of travelers would open a major gap in security."
