American Airlines hiring company to help run security lines

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — American Airlines says it will spend $4 million for contractors who will help manage checkpoint lines and get passengers through security more quickly.

American Airlines says the contractors it will perform tasks such as managing lines and collecting bins so that TSA officers can focus on screening passengers.

Isom said in a letter to employees that tens of thousands of the airline's customers have missed flights and bags have been delayed because of long security lines.
