The world's busiest airport has started screening employee bags before allowing workers into secure areas and shutting down access doors to the airfield in the wake of a gun-smuggling operation, CNN has confirmed.
Until recently, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport had about 70 access pointsfor what's called "back of the airport" employees,including baggage handlers and ramp workers. The workers were not subject to bag and body check screening when going to work.
Before the new measures, employees only had to swipe their badges to gain access to secure areas of the airport. Now private security guards are checking their bags and personal belongings before they are allowed to enter a security door at the main terminal.
"There's a phased-in approach to get to full employee screening," airport spokesman Reese McCranie said.

American security is a big question for our Government indeed. To tell the truth I do not trust all the measures they accepted to improve it. I suppose many developed countries are laughing at us and our useless attempts to provide high level of security system. Why are we still afraid of possible terroristic attacks?
