(WWSB) -- Security screenings at the airport might take a little bit longer.

TSA announced that they will start using a new and more rigorous pat-down procedure. 

The enhanced security measures came after a Department of Homeland Security study found some TSA agents were unable to find hidden weapons during pat-down tests. 

Experts say travelers should have patience as this will make the process take longer but it will increase overall safety of travelers.
