Changes to Air Travel

Kuster & Wildhaber Photography
Last week the TSA brought expedited security screening to the Des Moines airport for certain low-risk travelers.

The Transportation Security Administration recently announced that some travelers won’t have to remove their shoes, belts or jackets when going through airport security and the Federal Aviation Administration recently expanded passenger use of electronic devices.

Host Ben Keiffer looks at these and other recent changes in commercial flying with airline pilot Patrick Smith, author of "Cockpit Confidential."  Also etiquette expert Luann Alemao joins the conversation to offer advice on how to not offend fellow passengers.
