911事件25年後 美國機場安檢醞釀「鬆綁」

無票可到登機口送行、滿瓶水可過安檢

911事件後,美國機場發生了翻天覆地的變化;25年過去,新的政策調整正讓部分昔日被禁的做法重新回歸。

美國運輸安全管理局(TSA)宣布,未來將允許沒有機票的人通過安檢,到登機門與親友見面或送行。

美國運輸安全管理局也正在考慮允許部分美國旅客攜帶裝滿水的水瓶通過安檢。這將推翻2006年一宗未遂恐怖襲擊陰謀後實施的政策。

一位航空安全專家向BBC表示,這些改變是數十年來航空安全領域最重大的調整之一,而背後原因很可能是技術進步,而非安全標準下降。

參與美國預先安檢計畫(TSA PreCheck計劃)或持有「已知旅客編號」(known traveller number)的美國人,將率先受惠於這些新措施。這些旅客原本就需事先通過美國政府的審核程序,以便在美國機場接受較快速的安檢。

持有美國預先安檢計畫資格且希望在沒有機票的情況下前往登機門的人,可在預定到訪日期前一至三天於網上提出申請。

TSA本周宣布,「登機口TSA預檢計劃」(Gateside TSA PreCheck)將率先在全美13個機場推行。

TSA在其網站上寫道:「這項新計劃方便了人們前往登機口迎接與送別親友、在轉機期間與朋友相聚,還可以沿途享受餐飲購物,讓那些一度定義航空旅行的時刻重新回歸。」

航空安全專家、丹佛大都會州立大學(Metro State University Denver)教授傑夫・普萊斯(Jeff Price)向BBC表示,911事件後的政策改變,目的是減少安檢人員需要檢查的人數。

他說:「這有助於加快通關速度,也讓我們能把更多注意力集中在搭乘航班的旅客身上。」

但他表示,如今技術進步意味著這些政策可以重新調整。

除了恢復非旅客進入登機區之外,根據美國媒體報導,特朗普政府亦正在研究允許持有美國預先安檢計畫資格的旅客攜帶水通過機場安檢。

這將推翻2006年英國一宗未遂恐怖襲擊陰謀後實施的禁令。當時,有人計劃將液態化學物混合物藏於汽水瓶及運動飲料瓶中偷運上機。

BBC曾向美國運輸安全管理局求證這項傳聞中的政策變更,但未獲回應。

普萊斯表示,美國運輸安全管理局目前正逐步以新型安檢設備取代傳統X光機,而新設備具備電腦斷層掃描(computed tomography)功能,「能更有效地偵測液態爆炸物」。

這些安檢程序更新,延續了美國運輸安全管理局去年取消旅客在安檢時必須脫鞋規定的做法。這項不受歡迎的政策已實施二十年。

社群媒體上對這些宣布的反應不一。一些記得相關政策實施前時代的年長使用者,歡迎回歸正常;而較年輕的使用者則質疑,這些變化是否代表安全程度下降。

普萊斯表示:「人們對911事件前的世界懷有一種懷舊情感,這是一種對正常世界的召喚,我能理解其中一部分原因。」

「我能理解人們希望回到他們感覺更自在的狀態,也就是911事件之前的世界。」

但普萊斯表示,只要核心安全措施維持不變,而且標準持續保持在高水平,這些變化不會影響旅客安全。

他說:「我不希望只是為了懷念911事件前的感覺,而試圖去犧牲那些合理有效的安全措施。」

「我不認為我們應該為了『感覺好一點』而作這類決定。只要安全措施不打折扣,這類決定就可以做,這正是我在面對這類情況時一直尋求的標準。」

Open Questions

  • 帶水過安檢何時正式實施?
  • 未來是否會擴大至所有旅客?
