Airport Screeners to Inspect Electronics
WPVI-TV Ch 6 ABC, Philadelphia (PA)
Your electronic "carry-ons" are going to get a closer look at the airport.
The Homeland Security Department has asked airport screeners to give more
scrutiny to laptop computers, cameras, and other devices that could be used
to hide terrorist weapons. Officials say the alert wasn't prompted by any
specific intelligence, but some sources say disguised weapons found during
raids on al-Qaeda safe houses prompted the new security checks.
