Monday's incident at Dallas Love Field Airport raises questions about whether TSA security checkpoints should be placed at the front entrance of all airports.
Putting a metal detector at the entrance, would only create crowds of people outside that would be just as at risk as those here inside the public ticketing and baggage claim areas, according to an expert.Ortia Watson passed through the terminal at Love Field to board a flight with a different frame of mind Tuesday after the violent episode that played out in front of terrified passengers.
"Mitigation response was phenomenally good and you have to commend TSA as well as law-enforcement for acting as decisively as they did," Jacobson said. A man was shot by officers at Love Field in 2016 when he attacked people outside a baggage claim with a large rock. Jacobson also saidTSA is on track to seize a record number of firearms in carry on bags at security checkpoints, averaging 17 a day.
