Enhanced Airport Security Measures to Affect Travelers to and from Iran
January 5th, 2010, Washington DC – Starting on Monday January
4th, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented
new enhanced security screening measures for individuals traveling to
the United States from or through 14 chosen countries, including Iran.
The Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian of Americans (PAAIA) commends
law enforcement authorities immediate response to the attempted bombing
of Northwest Flight 253 and strongly believes that our Government
should take appropriate measures to enhance the protection of our
citizenry and other travelers. However, all necessary and security
directives that are strictly based on an individual’s
nationality raise potential concerns that innocent individuals,
including Iranian Americans and their family and friends, may be
adversely and unnecessarily impacted.
The details of the new security directive have not been made public and
are still unclear. As such, PAAIA is working together with other
organizations in determining the full extent of the directive and to
formulate appropriate political and legal responses on behalf of the
Iranian American community.
