Royal Jordanian at least one airline with reprieve from tougher security measures to US
As new security measures took effect Thursday on international flights to the US, at least one airline got a months-long reprieve. Royal Jordanian tweeted Monday that it had an agreement with US authorities to implement the new measures in mid-January. The Department of Homeland Security announced the measures in June and gave airlines 4 months to adopt them by Thursday. The measures both seen and unseen by passengers are part of an effort to better detect explosives hidden in electronics and to thwart airport workers from smuggling bombs onto planes. But Royal Jordanian said that "US authorities granted all airlines the option to delay the implementation process up to 6 months," or 2 months longer than the announced 120-day implementation. <br/>
