Local 6: New TSA Strategy Involves 'Key' Airports

Affected Airports Not Named

POSTED: Monday, March 12, 2007
UPDATED: 1:30 pm EDT March 12, 2007

Local 6 News has learned that Transportation Security Administration spokesman Chris White is in Florida on Monday, a day before he will announce a new security strategy for select airports across the country.

White said that the new strategy was already being planned prior to the alleged weapons- and drug-smuggling incident at Orlando International Airport last week.

White was at Tampa International Airport Monday morning, and Local 6 News has learned that he will be in Orlando to meet with reporters at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.

In an exclusive interview with Local 6 News reporter Mike Holfeld, White said "(the TSA is) not announcing a nationwide shake-up of security."

White wouldn't name the "key" airports involved in the security changes, but Holfeld reported that the fact that he is in Tampa on Monday and expected to be at OIA on Tuesday makes it clear that Florida airports are on the short list.

White said some passengers and employees may already notice the changes.
