Larry Lundeen and Bill Smiley who work with the Transportation Security Administration, briefed the Van Buren Rotary Club on the current status of airport security on May 7th. Larry explained that the TSA's role covers all modes of transportation: air, ground and sea, however their security role has evolved as threats have evolved. He also noted that there are 20 layers of security that must be cleared before a passenger gets on a plane.Bill Smiley (pictured) brought a display of prohibited items that are not allowed through security inspections and distributed guidelines that can help passengers get through the security check point at airports faster.
