Airlines for America isn’t giving up on the idea of TSA checking passengers’ temperatures. On Thursday, the trade group said its members would provide refunds to customers if they were screened and told their temperature is too high to fly, our Brianna Gurciullo reports. Here’s the catch, though: That commitment is conditioned on the federal government doing the temperature screenings, and it hasn’t committed to any such thing.
Like requiring masks to be worn on board, standardized temperature checks would be a “layer of protection” to reassure jittery would-be travelers that it’s safe to fly again, the airlines hope.
