Airport Screening Allows Efficiency To Escape Attention
On a recent, typically quiet afternoon at the Parkersburg, W. Va., airport, six passengers boarded a US Airways flight to Pittsburgh. Checking them for weapons and explosives were four federal Transportation Security Administration employees and a local cop.
When one traveler checked a suitcase, an airline clerk shattered the library-like silence to summon a screener to examine it: "TSA, we have a bag."
Just four planes leave the airport each day -- the first at 6 a.m., the last at 6:50 p.m. -- carrying an average of 45 passengers a day.
Parkersburg currently has eight full-time screener positions, although at least one is vacant. Federal rules require four screeners -- at least one of each gender -- for each flight, no matter how small. They don't have a whole lot to do. "They spend a lot of time training," airport manager Carolyn Stock says, her voice betraying her exasperation.
Washington, we have a problem.[/w]
