And when the FAA proposed positive bag matches for domestic flights--which the agency says would cost some $2 billion to implement--the Air Transport Association of America, a Washington-based trade group that represents the major airlines, balked at the measure...

Instead, the folks in the cockpits, watchtowers and administration offices moan about the weather disruptions and equipment breakdowns that cause 250,000 delays annually and cost billions of dollars. "We're on the FAA all the time to modernize," says Tim Neale of the Air Transport Association, which represents the industry in Washington.
