...where the food was always a bit of a joke - "A thousand flies can't be wrong, sir," was Scott's fond quip - its refitted kitchen can now produce a decent crab risotto or duck breast as part of a two-course meal that costs $42. On top of ticket prices that leap from $45 to $85 for the likes of Wynton Marsalis, free jazz this ain't.

...employees screening passengers at 44 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...
