Utah airport divides security lines



Salt Lake City International Airport is trying to get travelers through security checkpoints faster.

Travelers are being divided into three groups, depending on the number of carry-on bags, whether they're with kids and other factors.

Transportation Security Administration Administrator Kip Hawley says the idea is to separate large groups or heavy packers from those who can move through the lines quickly.

It began Thursday and could spread to the Denver airport next week.

The TSA calls it the "Black Diamond Project," a reference to the most challenging ski runs.

I call it profiling.

Lots of baggage is not a choice. It's instinct.

Feminine instinct?

TSA to me..."Sir, have these bags been in your possission the whole time you've been at the airport?"

ME...."Yeah, my wife's been with me the whole time...but the old lady
(her mom) went to the bathroom about a half hour ago..."

Makes it easier to scan large groups of people

Gotta love your honesty.
