The Port Authority announced today it would spend $28 million to install additional cylindrical barriers in front of LGA's Central Terminal and Newark's Terminal B, a plan initially approved shortly after the attempted car bombing of Glasgow Airport last year. They also announced the feds have awarded them a grant of $400 million to install new baggage handling systems at all three airports with built-in explosives screening rather than forcing passengers to move their own luggage from check-in to screening stations.
