Enhanced Airport Security Measures to Affect Travelers to and from Iran January 5th, 2010, Washington DC – Starting on Monday January 4th, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented new enhanced security screening measures for individuals traveling to the United States from or through 14 chosen countries, including Iran. The Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian of Americans (PAAIA) commends law enforcement authorities immediate response to the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253 and strongly believes that our Government should take appropriate measures to enhance the protection of our citizenry and other travelers. However, all necessary and security directives that are strictly based on an individual's nationality raise potential concerns that innocent individuals, including Iranian Americans and their family and friends, may be adversely and unnecessarily impacted.  The details of the new security directive have not been made public and are still unclear. As such, PAAIA is working together with other organizations in determining the full extent of the directive and to formulate appropriate political and legal responses on behalf of the Iranian American community.
