Washington – TSA Federal security Employees Subject To Stricter Screenings.

Washington – Starting this week, federal security employees must pass through strict screenings whenever they enter secure areas.

The change follows a major security breach earlier this month At Orlando International Airport as was reported here, and congressional complaints that workers from the Transportation Security Administration could bypass checkpoints during their shifts.

Under the new rules, belongings carried by TSA staff will be searched or screened 100 percent of the time. All TSA employees, including those who screen passengers, also face new rules. [VIN]
