问题     CHICAGO (AP) On Jan. 1, an order went into effect requiring that every checked bag at more than 400 of the nation’s commercial airports be screened (扫描检查) for bombs and weapons.
    Sunday was expected to be the heaviest travel day since Jan. I. Yet spot cheeks on Sunday at several of the nation’s airports showed no major delays caused by the new security measures.
    At the international terminal for Northwest Airlines at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, passengers waited up to 30 minutes longer than usual. Their bags were sent through giant screening machines and workers tore open taped boxes and searched through their contents before closing them up again.
    Most travelers simply accepted stricter screening developed since the terrorist (恐怖分子的) attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, before which only 5 percent of the roughly 2 million bags checked each day were screened for bombs.
    The U.S. government has put an additional 23,000 people into airports to carry out the new order.
    Sonny Salgatar, a 23-year-old college student flying home to San Diego from Chicago, was told by an air- port officer after the first pass that one of his bags was "hot", meaning there was something he couldn’t identify and he wanted to open the bag for an inspection.
    The "hot" item turned out to be Salgatar’s clothing iron.
    "Listen, anything they want to do for security is OK for me," Salgatar said.
选项 A、terrorist attacks
B、luggage damage
C、flight delays
D、air crash
答案A
解析 本题问采取的这种新方法是为了防止什么。根据文章内容，扫描检查是为了防止行李中携带“bombs and weapons”(炸弹和武器)，可以推断出答案为A项terrorist attacks(恐怖分子袭击)。
