Re: Traveler angry over opened caribou parcels by airport security

Does he mean that they cannot open a box marked fish/meat
if it alarms in those 2 airports? Or, the individual packages inside
the box?  if the fish alarms just pass it?
I say inspect all alarms fish or fowl.
Don't think he (Jarman)  should be passing on TSA policy/procedures to the
public/media.

Security Administration Alaska director Ken Jarman on Friday said he had
only recently heard about what happened and begun investigating. He said
he's almost as shocked as Williams at what happened.

"I'm a hunter and fisherman, too," Jarman said. Cutting open packaged game
meat or fish is against both TSA policy and procedure, he said. Baggage
inspectors on the X-ray line in Anchorage aren't even allowed to slice
packages open if the alarm goes off on a bag there, he said. And in Kenai,
where there is no X-ray, baggage checkers hand-inspecting bags are supposed
to pass fish and game meat not cut it up.
