TSA Agents to Staff UK Airports During Olympics
July 18th, 2012Via: Sky News:
US security agents are to be based at Heathrow and some other UK airports for the duration of the Olympic? Games, according to Sky sources.
The Department for Transport has reached an agreement with the US Transportation Security Administration for specialist agents to be working at several UK airports.
They will arrive one week before the Olympics, and leave around a week after the end of the Paralympics.
This is an added security layer that has been done to help boost and aid the American airlines in particular that fly in and out of the likes of Heathrow and other airports.
The move is also aimed at helping UK airlines flying in and out of America.
The agents will not be allowed beyond boarding gates or onto UK aircraft.
