TSA "chat downs" cauess multi-hour delays at Boston Logan
BOSTON -- New security procedures being tested at Logan International Airport caused significant backups at security checkpoints Thursday, according to airlines. Backups lasted for about four hours after the Transportation Security Administration began testing a procedure that requires more human interaction between security agents and passengers.

More likely they will delay you 30 seconds to give them time to Pilfer stuff from your bags.
How about test programs at smaller airports or at least not at the busiest times or on the busiest days?
They already talk down to us passengers so this shouldn't take them long to learn.
Sounds like more job security for corporate pilots.
How much more human interaction can there be? They're already abusing the passenger with the physical nature of their "security measures"!
If I recall, this new procedure is to be similar to what the Israelis use to screen passengers. In the U.S. its all about me first and I need to hurry through the security line. I do not see this working until people learn more patience, otherwise we might as well stay with what we have. Some say they have patience, but when they start to look at their watch, all that goes out the window, when they're likely to miss their flight.
Well, those people need to get to the airport with plenty of time before their flight. I would have a hard time comparing anything about the TSA and Israeli security. But, if the Israelis do it, it probably works, they don't mess around, they cant. The TSA needs to raise their standards for employment. It would be great to see some criteria for the Israeli security positions.
