US boosting security at airports White House

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine, June 30 (Reuters) US airports will see an increased presence of local police and federal security officials amid heightened vigilance following an explosion in Glasgow and a bomb alert in London, the White House said today.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said there was no indication of any specific US threat, and the federal government's color-coded rating of the threat of a terrorist attack was not being increased.

However, Snow said there will be an added presence of security officials for the sake of vigilance and travelers can expect some delays.
