The head of the Transportation Security Administration, Administrator David Pekoske, confirmed the threat from non-metallic explosives targeting passenger jets goes beyond laptops and tablets, in an interview with Fox News on Wednesday. "I think terrorist groups would use whatever they think might be successful and that's how we approach it. If we have specific information, we act on that specific information and if we don't, what else do we think they might use that would be successful? Pekoske said there would be more visible security in the near term, as the security focus expands beyond checkpoints at the nation's airports. "Our focus is always going to be on the checkpoint, but the point of my remarks was to not just look at the checkpoint in isolation.
