TSA set to test new screening protocols for elderly

03/15/12: CNN reports that after years of criticism, the Transportation Security Administration is taking the initial steps to modify screening for people age 75 or older. Beginning Monday, the TSA will test procedures allowing those passengers to leave their shoes on, as well as light outerwear. Other changes are intended to reduce the likelihood that older passengers will be subjected to a pat-down. The tests will be conducted at four airports: Chicago's O'Hare, Denver International, Portland International in Oregon, and Orlando International.
