"Some people may not realize it, but security has become a little more relaxed at the airport," Pesce said. "Right after Sept. 11, no one could do a curb side check in. Passengers would be in the airport for how ever long it took. The lengthiest delays were six to seven hour waits." However, there are new standards at the airport that all passengers are expected to follow. Cars can only park in spaces that are 300 feet or more away from any building. Passengers are now expected to arrive three hours before an international flight and two hours before a domestic flight. "Random people will be pulled out of line when boarding a plane and thoroughly searched, All passengers will be matched to their luggage." Pesce added, "United States Marshals are on flights, but the Federal Aviation Administration will not comment on which flights the marshals are present on or anything else about the marshals, including if they carry weapons aboard the plane."

Dr. Hal Halbert, professor of English and communications, endured thorough searching while continued from page 1 traveling. Before boarding a plane in Philadelphia Halbert was searched. Halbert said, "I forgot to take off my watch, didn't know there was change in my pocket, and my belt was made of some kind of metal. l was pulled to the side stood on a pad and had to have my belt and watch removed. I was then frisked and had to turn down the top of my pants in the front and back." Halbert endured a strange security procedure at the Long beach airport. 'The security was much tighter. They had national guardsmen there with their M-16's at the ready, which means they were presumably loaded weapons." Halbert added, "Overall I think the security was thorough and fair, but the unslung weapons were really bo,!hersome."

Chrissy Remley, a freshman accounting major, said, "I think the precautions are necessary, if I had to fly, I would feel safe."

Beauchesne is not as sure as Remley. "I would fly, but if someone was trained in hand-to-hand combat, they could probably take the plane without needing a weapon."
