BUMPY DAY FOR AIRLINE SECURITY
Not looking so good in the skies today. There are fighter jets shadowing an Air India plane bound for JFK with a "suspicious passenger." LAX had to close five terminals and delay more than 300 planes when an unplugged metal detector was noticed. A federal agent is complaining that those expensive new bag screening devices are seriously flawed. A CBS TV crew said they boarded a plane with fake ID. Twentyfour workers at Boston's Logan airport were charged in connection with falsifying documents to get jobs in secure areas. And World Net Daily says the FAA is trying to cover up a report that a hijacker had a gun on Flight 11 (which hit a WTC tower) and shot a passenger. They refer to this memo with the details.
