DAYTON — Passengers arriving at Dayton International Airport on Wednesday said they had not experienced problems with security, and those departing from here were moving through fast-moving lines.
Departing passengers faced short lines in the morning. Two of the four security lanes were open.
“Step on over to Lane 1. No waiting, no line,” one TSA worker shouted to passengers.
Dayton does not have the full-body scanners that have caused concerns in some other places.
Occasional patdown searches were conducted here Wednesday morning. Arrivals and departures were all listed as on time at 10:30 a.m.
As for those arriving, most did not see problems.
Christopher Wu of Centerville arrived here from Los Angeles.
“It was pretty smooth. There were really no problems at all,” Wu said.
Susan Riley of Philadelphia flew to Dayton to spend Thanksgiving with family in Cincinnati.
“I heard there were going to be protesters later, but I didn’t see anybody,” she said.
Clay Appleton of Dayton arrived from Washington DC.
“It was a little busy with security where I came from,” Appleton said. “It was easier than I thought it was going to be.”
All 3 went through standard metal detectors, not the full-body scanners.
Dayton officials expected traffic to get busier Wednesday afternoon.
“There are going to be a lot more people traveling,” Linda Hughes, airport spokeswoman, said.
Hughes advised travelers to “dress to travel,” wearing shoes that are easy to slip on and off, putting jewelry on after screening points and emptying pockets. It’s when metal alarms go off that delays happen, she said. And she noted that some airlines allow travelers to print boarding passes at home if they’re not checking baggage.
The TSA has not yet installed body scanners at Dayton’s airport. They’re scheduled for installation “sometime after Thanksgiving,” Hughes said.
