TSA Hasn't Increased Security at Airports Today

Airport spokespeople say passenger security is of utmost importance.

Bay Area airports were operating normally this morning, the day after Osama bin Laden's death was announced.

Security measures haven't changed at San Francisco International Airport, airport spokesman Mike McCarron said. The airport is in constant contact with the Transportation Security Administration and the San Francisco Police Department, McCarron said.

Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport and Oakland International Airport officials also said they have not received direction from the TSA to increase security.

San Jose airport spokesman David Vossbrink said airports are monitoring for any changes.

"I think everyone is well aware of the situation," he said.

Oakland airport spokeswoman Rosemary Barnes said safety is the No.
1 priority.

 "We will continue to remain vigilant," she said. "We are asking traveling public to assist us."
