LONDON – European officials accused the United States of imposing unnecessary and overly intrusive air travel security measures, calling on the Obama administration Wednesday to re-examine policies ranging from X-raying shoes to online security checks for Europeans.
The crux of the issue is every traveler’s question of how much security is sufficient and how much delay is tolerable – and whether it’s time for a review of security measures that have accumulated in the years since 9/11.
The U.S. government issued a statement Wednesday saying it would continue to review its security measures “based on the latest intelligence.”
