Botched UK Attacks
US maintains high airport security after
Afp, Kennebunkport
The United States on Sunday maintained reinforced security at US airports after two car bombs were found in London and a blazing vehicle crashed into a terminal at Glasgow's airport. Security was heightened at airports, train and mass transit stations but US officials did not raise the alert level nationwide. "There is no indication of any specific or credible threat to the United States, no change in the overall security level," said White House spokesman Tony Snow. "However at airports there are some alertness-raising measures that the TSA (Transportation Security Administration) has invoked," he said. "You are likely to see those in the increased presence of some TSA agents outside terminals, there will be some inconvenience to passengers in terms of longer wait times."
