PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Security at Philadelphia International Airport remains tight following the attack overseas in Turkey.

Uniformed Philadelphia Police officers patrolling, Explosive Detection K-9 Team making the rounds, as usual officials say there's a heightened state of security here at Philly International.

A top police official tells KYW Newsradio they're constantly communicating with the FBI and there is no new or specific threat to Philly International linked to the attack in Istanbul.

As for travelers, Kelly from Venice Beach in LA, says the attack in Turkey, like other attacks, makes her think.

"How do people actually get away with something as atrocious as that? Is there anyway to stop it? I don't think so."

Despite that, she says she's can't be fearful. She flies every few months and says there's never been a good reason for her to stop living her life.
