Delays at Alabama Airports

By Alabama Public Radio

Undated, AL – Travelers moving through Alabama's airports are finding long lines and trash bins filled with shampoo and mouthwash. The state's airports are adjusting to new security requirements following the arrest of 21 people in the United Kingdom. Authorities say they were plotting to blow up aircraft flying from Great Britain to the United States. Some people have been waiting more than an hour to get through security at the Birmingham International Airport, and the delays are pushing back departures. Few problems have been reported in Huntsville, but some flights were canceled and several others were late departing the Mobile Regional Airport.
