Wally , I caught that news and I had to run to the bathroom to barf when I saw Mary Schiavo presented as expert. I am afraid I will have nightmares about her tonight! :) The thing she said that caught my attention was she "almost flies every day". As far as I know she got a teaching job at OSU and parted with FAA. Is she getting paid by NBC or some big company to fly that much? Oh there was no mention of her breaching the security couple years ago at CMH either.

Tom Brokaw and NBC news just did a deal tonight on how/why the airlines are doing repeated and detailed personal and carry-on bag searches of elderly persons and kids. Part of the report showed our low makers' discussions on the Hill that this practice <law> is idiotic and needs to be changed...and possibly leading more to racial profiling. Those on the west coast take a look if you get a chance. Walter DCA
