(안보) 새 항공안전 대책발표
On our broadcast tonight, flight safety. There’s news tonight about pilots taking certain medications and new rules for screening passengers who may be dangerous. There is also news tonight on airline security. New screening procedures for passengers on flights to the US from overseas. This is the latest response by the Obama administration to that attempt to bomb a US passenger plane in Detroit on Christmas day. More on the story tonight from our justice correspondent Pete Williams.
Administration officials say the failed plot to bomb a plane to Detroit on Christmas day by a man with explosives hidden in his underwear actually provided a needed jolt to shake up airline security. And now the government is making a big change to a system started just three months ago to evaluate who should be pulled aside at airports overseas for secondary screening including pat-downs수색 and interviews or inspection in one of the full body image scanners. “It is a more Intel or information based way to screen. It’s a stronger way to determine whether passengers should go through secondary examination, and not just primary examination.”
GONE is the practice started just in January of giving extra screening to anyone traveling from 14 countries where terror groups were known to operate or draw support. Instead, screeners overseas will be urged to focus on other indicators such as partial names, fragments of passport numbers, travel patterns or physical descriptions. Anything of value in screening that’s derived유래된 from current threat intelligence. And they’ll continue to look at such obvious factors as people who’ve recently been in Yemen. A new Al Qaeda stronghold.
A former security official says it’s a good idea. Some parts of the system will not change that no flight list, for example, will still be used. In fact, since January, the number of people on it has more than doubled. Pete Williams, NBC News, Washington.
