...better to exercise caution by strengthening security systems and giving up some freedoms than it is to accept a high risk of more attacks. Savi Mull Lucknow, India There is so much concern over what passengers cannot carry that we seem to have lost sight of the problem of cargo security. Since anything can now be secreted in a toothpaste tube, isn't there a higher risk of a small bomb being placed in the cargo hold? A bribe put in the hands of a baggage handler might be enough to do it. Chadwick Hall London The U.S. government keeps...
...about it. Bryant set up her company two years ago, after she noticed the number of African Americans investing in Ghana was on the increase.

I especially liked the gigantic boa constrictor, which is used to grisly comic effect a couple of times in the course of the movie. But never mind - each of you will have your special favorites among...
...domestic and 28 European airports. That business vanished soon thereafter when the Transportation Security Administration was created. Argenbright started his new company, AirServ, in 2002, contracting with airlines to provide workers who check passenger IDs at checkpoints, along with services such as ticket processing, bus transportation and cargo handling. And now that his business once again could be supplanted by the federal government, the airline security entrepreneur is not shy about expressing his ongoing frustration...
