...well-organized security area also speeds passengers along - JetBlue estimates that 20 million travelers, or 30% of Kennedy Airport's total traffic, will pass through the terminal every year - with special family gates that have wider lanes to accommodate parents traveling with small children. Just on the other side of the security gates, in front of a luminescent blue wall, architects have thoughtfully installed a long-overdue innovation: a 225-foot bench, where passengers can reassemble their carry-ons and slip back into their stilettos...

"In my presence, in the White House, the possibility of using Diego Garcia for detaining high-value targets was discussed," he says. Clarke did not witness a final resolution of the issue, but adds, "Given everything that we know about the Administration's approach to the law on these matters, I find the report that the U.S. did use the island for detention or interrogation entirely credible...
