Heightened Security Affects Americans Traveling Abroad
Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer Washington, D.C. (AHN) - The U.S. Department of State and the government of the United Kingdom are updating travel restrictions following a failed attempt to destroy as many as 10 jetliners in flight between the two countries. According to authorities, the U.K. has heightened security at all airports and Americans with immediate travel plans into or out of the United Kingdom should contact their respective airlines before traveling to the airport. Officials report the threat level in the U.K. has been raised to critical, reflecting the belief that an attack may be imminent. In the United States, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has also raised the threat level to high for all commercial flights operating in or coming to the United States. In addition to airports, U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture.
