Going on an airplane is something that for most Americans is a part of their daily job. It is almost required to go on flights to make big business trips around the globe. But if you talked to some people they would say going on an airline flight is something that does not provide any sort of joy. The concept of flyclear is something that these individuals feel is something of a joke. The current system of airline security has been something that people feel needs to be repaired.
Not too long ago, it was mentioned on the news that the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) is now investigating allegations of racial profiling at Logan International Airport in Boston. According to the alleged instances 32 TSA officers revealed that the airport specifically target's people of African-American and Middle Eastern origin. The report focuses on a system used at Logan which targets people who are believed to have some questionable activity, leading to an interview with the person at the security line before they get tested by security.
The security system I feel is something that needs to be fixed, the system at Logan airport is something that I think makes the problem much worse than better. Specifically going after people of non-Caucasian origin makes me very angry, because it is not doing anything to solve how we can solve airline security problems or the threat of terrorism. How will we ever know who is truly a threat and who is not if programs like the one in Logan help give airport security more of a black eye?
Fortunately for some travelers, some solutions may circumvent the situation like the one at Logan. CLEAR is a program which allows a passenger to go through a security line by having all their biometrical data secured onto a card, which allows them to go to the front of the security line. This is a program which provides a yearly fee to use the service, this is already used at a few airports right now but should the program become more of success it may go to more airports in the long-run.
Airline security should be managed more like it should be a plan which looks out for the security of each and every traveler. Products like CLEAR could go a long way into helping resolve the mistakes of airline security and make it better for passengers who might mistrust going on a plane due to the circumstances at the security gate. It is my feeling we see more common sense solutions to security so we do not have situations like the one that occurred at Logan.
