Not too long ago, it was reported on the news that the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) is now examining claims of racial profiling at Logan International Airport in Boston. According to the alleged complaints 32 TSA officers revealed that the airport specifically target's individuals of African-American and Middle Eastern ancestry. The report focuses on a system used at Logan which targets people who are believed to have some suspicious activity, leading to an interview with the person at the security line before they get tested by security.
Security is a matter that has to be solved now. The situation at Logan just gives a bad name for airport security more than it already has. Racial profiling is never something that should be tolerated and to see an airport use these practices makes many people distrust the way security at our airports is conducted. The question we should ask ourselves is "can we find a way that can help fix problems when we go through an airport security line?"
Thankfully for some travelers, some services may circumvent the circumstance like the one at Logan. CLEAR is a service 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 supplies a yearly fee to use the plan, this is currently 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 addressed more like it should be a process which looks out for the security of each and every traveler. Products like CLEAR could go a long way into helping solve the mistakes of airline security and make it better for passengers who might mistrust going on a plane due to the conditions at the security gate. It is my hope we see more common sense plans to security so we do not have situations like the one that occurred at Logan.
