Episode 38: Big Brother-ish or Nah? The Future of TSA Security.

We're back!! Life happened last week, but Reyna Simone is back just in time to tell you about the future of security with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  The agency plans to use biometrics—such as fingerprinting and facial recognition scanning to enhance security measures.  Reyna Simone discusses the program, provides tips for traveling with electronics and quips about whether the future of TSA security/government access to your biometric/DNA information is too much.  SHOW RESOURCES  TSA Biometrics Roadmap:  https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/tsa_biometrics_roadmap.pdf ***********************************************************************************   OTHER RESOURCES: HURRICANE FLORENCE RELIEF Parts of North Carolina and South Carolina are still reeling in the weeks after Hurricane Florence.  If you are interested in helping out those communities, here are some ways to do so:   World Central Kitchen:  this is one of my favorite charities.  They provide meals to those in need—and have a stellar record of helping in the aftermath of disasters (they've served 3.6 million meals in Puerto Rico since last year!) https://www.worldcentralkitchen.org/donate   American Red Cross:  The Red Cross is known for helping people and responding to disasters.  https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-florence-donations.html/   ***********************************************************************************   How to find Reyna Simone: Instagram & Twitter:  @travelquips Her Blog:  www.travelquips.com Facebook:  www.facebook.com/TravelQuips ************************************************************************************ Do you have a travel related question that you would like Reyna Simone to answer?  You can leave a voicemail here—Reyna Simone may play it on the podcast!  Just make sure the message is 90 seconds or less and don't forget to say your first name and where you are from.  Or you can email your travel questions to [email protected]. ************************************************************************************* Podcast Music & Sound Effects French Disco by Felipe Adorno Vassao available at www.shockwave-sound.com.   Screams of Frustration by jorickhoffd.  Attribution License:  https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ .  Available at https://freesound.org/people/jorickhoofd/sounds/178410/#.   Cool Pop by Brion Kennedy available at SoundExpress/Getty Images
