Meeting planners rank airport security top issue

Tuesday, 17 October 20063 min read

Better security easily beat out passport concerns when US meeting and business planners were asked the top issue facing the US Congress after next month’s elections.

Forty-five percent of respondents said “standardizing security procedures at all airports” was their top concern, said the latest MiMegasite.com survey.

That trailed the runner-up concern, “holding down the price of oil,” which drew 37%.

Perhaps surprisingly, only 7% of respondents said “relaxing the new visa/passport rules for US-bound foreigners” was the top issue.
