...weeks before Loy's departure was announced, the GAO issued two critical reports, one of which said there are "significant weaknesses in the testing and training procedures for TSA airport screeners."

...Onboard my Concorde was everyone from a grandmother who spent most of her life savings on the multi-thousand dollar ticket to ride this unique plane from Heathrow to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C. to a Baltimore banker who was on his seventh Concorde flight and just wanted to get home faster than taking the traditional flight to New York. There was a corporate pilot who paid $ 9 for his ticket because his brother used frequent flier miles to pay the bulk of the fare. There was acrobatic flying champion David Martin and his wife who was probably secretly wishing...
