Back to the future -- One airport will let you get past security without a plane ticket
Starting yesterday (Tuesday, Sept. 5) Pittsburgh International Airport will become the first U.S. airport to allow non-fliers regular access into its gate-side terminal areas since security measures changed after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
Dean Headley, co-author of the national Airline Quality Rating at Wichita State University, says he's glad someone is testing the concept, but isn't convinced how practical it will be for other airports. Go to http://www.wichita.edu/j/?5841 for more information.
