Meeting planners rank airport security top issue

Saturday, 17 Oct, 2006 0

Better security easily beat out passport concerns when US meeting and business planners were asked the top issue facing the US Congress after next month’s elections.

Forty-five percent of respondents said “standardizing security procedures at all airports” was their top concern, said the latest MiMegasite.com survey.

That trailed the runner-up concern, “holding down the price of oil,” which drew 37%.

Perhaps surprisingly, only 7% of respondents said “relaxing the new visa/passport rules for US-bound foreigners” was the top issue.
