According to the Transportation Security Administration, from 22 December, airline travellers will be subjected to random screenings; on the other hand, there will be fewer prohibited items. Passengers will be allowed to hand-carry small tools and scissors on-board.
TIP: I know that it's winter but if you do not want officials to ask you to take off your shoes, wear flip-flops or thin-soled, without metal sandals. Note that you need to wear the right shoes if you do not want to be inconvenienced.
Apparently, these searches "will take only about a minute to complete."
Rigghhhhhht...So now, we not only have to go endure flight delays, traffic going to the airport and stress, we would have to add long security lines on the list, too.
"Passengers will continue to walk through a metal detector and have their carry-on and checked baggage screened. However, these measures may now include a brief additional search of their person or their property. Examples of this additional screening include: explosive screening of shoes, hand-wanding of passengers, enhanced pat down searches and inspections of carry-on bags."

As you mentioned. I was so frustrated during the holiday because of this tight security, or say, obsurd? Anyway, happy new year!
