EWR Airport Security Still Failing to Keep Travelers Safe

As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing pandemic, travelers have been forced to take extra precautions when flying. Despite this, Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is still failing to keep its passengers safe. On Tuesday, a tweet from @Clear boasted of how “nice” it was for travelers to “zip through” security mid-week and mid-day. But what this tweet fails to mention is that EWR has had numerous issues with its security in recent months. In fact, just last month an incident occurred where a passenger managed to get past security without being screened properly due to a lapse in communication between TSA agents and airport staff. The incident sparked outrage among travelers who felt their safety was not being taken seriously by the airport or the TSA. Since then, there have been reports of long lines at security checkpoints and overcrowding in terminals as people wait for their flights. This has led many travelers to feel anxious about their safety while passing through EWR’s security measures. What’s more concerning is that these issues are not limited to Newark Liberty International Airport alone; similar incidents have been reported at other airports across the country as well. This raises serious questions about whether airports are doing enough to ensure passenger safety during these uncertain times. It seems clear that despite @Clear's attempt at making light of the situation, there are still major problems with airport security at EWR and beyond that need addressing if travelers are going to feel safe when they fly. Until then, it may be wise for passengers traveling through Newark Liberty International Airport - or any other airport -to remain vigilant and take extra precautions when passing through security checkpoints.
