American Security Secretary John Kelly announced ramped up security measures for incoming flights to the United States on Wednesday. This was reported by the Fox News.
"Unless we all raise our security standards, terrorists, who see commercial aviation as the greatest take-down will find and attack the weakest link," he said.
The enhanced security includes increased scanning for explosives and increased passenger scanning.
Depending on airlines' cooperation, the measures may in the future include a wider ban on electronics for fear they contain bombs.
As it was reported earlier one passenger was dragged off United Airlines flight and required reconstructive surgery. Passenger’s lawyers are planning to demand compensation.
