 // Voluntary Security Inspections What could possibly be the point of this? Cars heading to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport will see random, voluntary inspections Monday. The searches are part of an increase in security at the airport. It's a joint operation between the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Austin Police, and airport security. The enhancements are not a response to specific threats, and the security level has not changed. Officials say the searches are voluntary and drivers can opt out if they want. Training? Reassuring a jittery public? Looking busy? This can't possibly be done for security reasons. Tags: air travel, cars, DHS, homeland security, privacy, searches, TSA
