US: New staff hired at JFK to help speed airport security lines
A privately operated terminal at John F. Kennedy International is hiring temporary workers to battle increasing wait times at security checkpoints. The CE of JFK International Air Terminal, which oversees Terminal 4 at the airport, said the hiring was prompted by concerns that TSA staffing, already under strain, will come under even more pressure this summer as passenger numbers swell. “During the summer period it’s always challenging to deal with the high peak volumes,” said Gert-Jan de Graaff, the JFKIAT chief. He said the extra workers should allow the TSA to “focus on their core business” of screening passengers. The move follows steps in recent weeks by airlines and airports around the country to beef up staff to support TSA security screeners and speed up lines. <br/>
