Tightening airport security to bar nonpassengers
Airlines plan to create sterile concourses by restricting access to boarding passengers only. Gates, luggage checks, and electronic weapon detectors will separate travelers from the general public. The move follows a federal order mandating weapon screening for all boarding passengers and random searches of carry-ons, altering how families and friends farewells are conducted at airports.

Edges of airport concourses to become security checkpoints
The plan requires armed local police at all 53 airports after Feb 5 to arrest weapon carryors and suspects. Checks would occur at concourse edges rather than each gate, reducing personnel demands and aiming to deter hijackers who could bypass gate security. Federal agents currently man some large airports, but local communities will assume the job.
