The following changes in airline security were implemented after the bomb scare on the flight to Detroit:
* Pat downs of passengers at airport security, concentrating on the upper torso and legs
* Physical inspections of all carry-on bags at the gate
* Requiring all passengers to be seated for the full hour prior to arrival
* Banning the use of blankets and pillows one hour prior to arrival
* Hands must be in plain sight an hour prior to arrival
* No opening of overhead bins an hour prior to arrival
* Increased screening in airline security lines
* Passengers encouraged to arrive 3 hours early for international flights
