Airport workers to be screened
The Associated Press


ORLANDO -- All Orlando Airport employees who enter secure areas over the next few days will be screened because of the arrests of baggage handlers accused of smuggling guns aboard a commercial airliner, federal officials said yesterday. The Transportation Security Administration also plans to temporarily increase security at three other Florida airports and one in Puerto Rico. The agency was criticized last week after law enforcement officials made four arrests in connection with a drug-smuggling ring that bypassed Orlando airport security to send guns and drugs to Puerto Rico.
