...Given their tiny fleets, enthusiastic employees and more nimble management, outfits such as JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines redesigned and reinforced cockpit doors within two weeks. The big carriers will need months, at a minimum. "Past practice has been to wait and see what others will do," explains Thomas Nunn, Frontier's director of safety. "This was no time to wait."

...have entirely redesigned, and reinforced cockpit door designs within two weeks. Officials from both airlines tell TIME that they are also making plans to install hidden cameras to monitor the passenger cabin from the cockpit."Past practice has been to wait and see what others will do," explains Thomas Nunn, Frontier's Director of Safety.

The Administration remains worried about the need to defend against "the long bomb"--a chemical, biological or nuclear attack. But just as crucial, this aide argues, is to protect against "short yardage"--attacks on bridges, tunnels, power plants, chemical-storage facilities...
...Some would argue the money is out there - or it was when the administration released its first budget figures, which granted the military a $33 billion increase for 2002. It?s all a question of priorities, and while Nunn-Lugar may have to make due with its pre-attack allotment, the grim events of the past three weeks have cast the 10-year-old program in a new light. This time around, there is a renewed sense of purpose: No one wants to see a disillusioned Ukrainian biochemist drift into the wrong laboratory...
