Hi there this a bit off an odd question. My friend played a TSA agent on the tv show "Fringe" who stopped the two FBI leads saying they needed to talk to a supervisor as they were pursuing a suspect who just cleared security. He thinks in real life he would never do that while I think different. Whose right? Thanks.

Could you please comment about your famous security if Aeroflot flight from JFK to Moscow (Sheremetyvo) on August 15, 2012 was landed in Islandia International Airport after receiving a call that there was a bomb. Of course, the news told us that there was not any bomb, BUT 2 people from the flighnt were arested in Islandia. That means that there was something...

I'm flying from the UK to New York next Tuesday and I have type 1 diabetes requiring insulin injections. I will need to carry needles, vials of insulin and finger testers with me in my hand luggage. What requirements do I need to make sure I have for passing through security in America? Thank you.

Are TSA-approved locks mandatory when flying out of the US? I'm leaving on Emirates via JFK on Saturday morning. Can I lock my suitcases after the security scan after the check in is complete? I could use cable ties too. The reason I need to lock it is to try and avoid theft in Dubai and Bangalore (my final destination). I know locks have their limitations, but I need to try something! Please help.

I am ariving to terminal 5 on jetBlue at 11.20am and have an international flight to Moscow with Transaero from terminal 4 at 2.25pm. These are two separate tickets. Will I have enough time to change terminals, go through security, check baggs, and check in to my international flight? I am very worried.

Do I need to go through any kind of customs or immigration before boarding 2:25PM flight from JFK to Moscow on Transaero Airlines? How much time should I allow to go through all the necessary security to wait for my flight?
