As I drove toward San Antonia on Sunday, I heard of the tragic incident of the Boeing plane crash in San Francisco. Obviously, any time of accident like this will get a lot of coverage on the news, as updates come through. My prayers go out to the family and passengers. 

However, as I reviewed some news sites, another aspect of the incident is coming into light, over the tragedy. Seems the TSA (Transportation Security Agency) made it harder for the passengers and family, than necessary. 

“The process was made more difficult, and slower, by a series of screenings conducted by the Transportation Security Administration, police said. Officials spent hours interviewing passengers inside the international departure gates.” (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-officials-passengers-described-chaos-after-crash-20130706,0,7930406.story)

So the police made the comment, the TSA was making it harder for the victims of the plane. Personally, I would think this is a state issue, but evidently the TSA trumps local police. 

While loved ones were attempting to gain site of their family members, to find their status, the TSA vetted them. “To get into the boarding area to meet up with them, loved ones were interviewed, searched and vetted by TSA officials.” (http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-officials-passengers-described-chaos-after-crash-20130706,0,7930406.story)
