Airlines lax in asking about bags
Article Abstract:
Airline employees do not consistently comply with FAA regulations concerning two questions to be posed to domestic US air passengers. Ticket agents, gate agents and skycaps are supposed to ask travellers if someone unknown to them has asked them to carry an item on their flights and if items they have been traveling with have been out of their immediate control. However, a ticket agent at Boston's Logan International Airport asked only one question to a traveler and none to another. A gate agent at Chicago's Midway Airport did not bother to ask a passenger who was using a cell phone.
