All airlines to US need enhanced security
The US Transportation Security Administration has issued new security directives to all airlines carriers with inbound flights from today (January 4).
The new directive includes "long-term, sustainable" security measures developed in consultation with law enforcement officials and domestic and international partners.
"Because effective aviation security must begin beyond our borders, and as a result of extraordinary co-operation from our global aviation partners, TSA is mandating that every individual flying into the US from anywhere in the world travelling from or through nations that are state sponsors of terrorism or other countries of interest will be required to go through enhanced screening," a statement said.
"The directive also increases the use of enhanced screening technologies and mandates threat-based and random screening for passengers on US bound international flights."
