There are two different check points. First there is the pre check which is controlled by the airlines. This is were your paperwork is checked by the airline employee before you go up to the X-ray equipment. Second is the baggage and pax screening with x-ray and medal detectors. These are controlled by the government. What the airlines are/were doing is having separate line at the pre screening level for FF pax, which would be shorter and then lead to the x-ray/medal detectors. What they cannot do is have specified x-ray and medal detectors for these pax since they are now owned by the govmt. ----- Original Message ----- From: W Wilson <wlw-jr@att.net> To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2002 10:07 PM Subject: Re: No more specials for FF > Excellent!!!...I agree. > Airline check-in is one thing, but....going through a gov't required > 'entrance' should be equal to all parties. > > Walter > DCA > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Dennis W Zeuch" <DZTOPS@aol.com> > To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> > > > > I read where the Govt has ruled that special fast lanes for VIP's are not > > going to be allowed at security gates.
