Greetings everyone!  I'm Jayna Sheffield at the business desk.
This evening I'd like to focus a bit on airline security and its fallout since the aborted terrorist attack in Britain last month.  I don't think that anyone should be surprised at the new security measures that are presently in place.  So you're not allowed to take any type of liquid on board.  Liquids such as water, perfume, any type of liquid makeup, no shaving lotion, and no eye drops that are not prescription oriented.  Baby formulas are allowed but parents have to be prepared to sample them before they are allowed.  No toothpaste, no liquid deodorant, nothing that is liquid based.
From all accounts the airlines are telling us that business has not really been hurt and as a matter of fact business for airlines has increased since the aborted terrorist attack.  Airport staff are telling us that whereas checking times are going smoothly and that passengers are being processed more quickly the time for the collection of luggage at the other end has increased.
Guess we can't have it both ways.  It would be very interesting to see how the airline industry copes over the next few months.  Both airlines and airports have to work together to make it all work.  Passengers also need to do their bit by adhering to the new rules.  Passengers need to keep in mind that when traveling to Britain the security rules are going to me much more strict and across the United States airport authorities are going to be much more watchful and in many cases very jumpy.  Other countries such as Canada and the European Union are also going to be more watchful. 
So, be prepared to put up with some more new security rules.
