WPCNR County Clarion-Ledger. By John F. Bailey. November 7, 2002:Westchester County Airport departing passengers were formally introduced to the Transportation Security Adminstration airport security system today at a news conference describing the new 4-step security procedure that has been in place for about one week, checking and rechecking passengers through 4 separate levels of security.
WHAT NOT TO TAKE ON AN AIRPLANE: Close-up view of items "abandoned" by passengers, which include scissors, nailfiles, sharp instruments of all kinds. You will be given an opportunity to return to the luggage check-in and place it in your luggage, or in your automobile, if you have time, otherwise TSA inspectors will collect the item. TSA Federal Security Director, Paul Crispi urged passengers to be aware of what will not be allowed to be carried on a plane.

County officials and TSA Directors reported on the system which now incorporates 100 specially trained TSA inspectors to inspect passenger luggage and carry-on baggage at four separate checkpoints, after you have checked in at your airline ticket counter.
New TSA inspectors interviewed by WPCNR noted that at peak hours it may take 10 to 15 minutes to clear the new procedures after your ticket check-in procedures at high density airport hours, 7 to 9 AM and 4:30 to 7 PM, and more on the holidays coming up. TSA Westchester County Airport safety director, Romero Iral suggested passengers allow 2 hours at these times.
