“We expect that the installation of these shields will help prevent cross contamination among travelers and the TSA workforce to help stop the spread of the coronavirus,” Bart Johnson, federal security director for Upstate New York, said. “The installation of these shields is just one of the many critical pandemic-related initiatives — along with social distancing in the passenger queue and sanitizing bins — that TSA has undertaken.”
TSA continues to promote its “Stay Healthy. Stay Secure.” campaign designed to advise travelers of airport checkpoint modifications and procedures designed to contain the spread of COVID-19. These include social distancing; reduced physical contact between travelers and TSA officers during the screening process; use of personal protective equipment by TSA officers; and “extra cleaning and disinfecting” in the security checkpoint, TSA said.
