US travel group urges overhaul to aviation screening


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration should adopt a trusted traveler program and order airlines to permit travelers to check one bag for free to make airport screening faster and encourage more travel, a leading industry group said on Wednesday.

The U.S. Travel Association, whose members include hotels, car rental services and amusement parks, worked with security experts to develop recommendations to improve the screening process, which has turned off travelers because of searches seen as invasive and long wait times to get through security.
