Governor David A. Paterson today advised passengers traveling into
\nor out of New York airports to allow extra time to check in and
\ncontinue through security screenings prior to their flights. As these
\nmeasures will add time to standard pre-flight procedures, travelers
\nshould arrive an additional hour earlier to mitigate delays.<\/p>\n

The Governor also announced that the Task Force Empire Shield has
\nprovided a supplementary force of approximately 80 National Guard
\nsoldiers who will provide support during peak travel periods, focusing
\non John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport.<\/p>\n

The Governor first directed the Task Force to assemble the
\nsupplementary force following the December 25 incident aboard a
\nDetroit-bound flight. They will be a consistent presence during busy
\ntravel hours and also patrol ground transportation hubs on New
\nYear\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile many are shaken, this recent threat should not hamper
\nour holiday and future travel plans. We have taken the necessary
\nprecautions to ensure the safety of all travelers and we ask that they
\nalso continue to be observant of security measures and
\nprotocols,\u201d Governor Paterson said. \u201cOur actions should not
\nraise the alarm, but rather demonstrate that we are working at the
\nlocal, state and federal levels to keep travelers safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
