Pomeroy stream WASHINGTON (AP) Holiday ttavelers who left before Chrisunas may have · a different airport experience if they fly home . after New Year's Day. · Their checked bags likely will be searched for explosives, although the methOd - machine, human bands or dogs - will vary by airport. And at more than 40 airpons, ttavelers with only carry-on bags no longer can go straight to the gate. They'll have to make a detour to the tickel counter or a kiosk to get a boarding pass. The changes are bound to create problems. said Michael Boyd, a Denver-based airline consultant. He offered this advice: Don't check anything and get there very early. ~ "It could'k total chaos," he said. Enhanced security at airports isn't new for frequent air ttavelers. They know that they' II have to show a government-issued ID several times before reaching the gate. Coats, and sometimes shoes, must. 1 be taken off 'and run through the same machines that check carryon bags. Tmvelers may be randomly selected for a second. and even a third. search. · The new security is overseen by the Transportation Security Administtation. created after the · Sept. II attacks to protect ttavelers . from terrorists. In the past year, the agency has hired more than 50,000 people - distinguished by their white shirts and yellow embroi- · dered badges - to screen ·passengers an\f baggage at 424 commercia! airports. . . Now the TSA is in the mids_t.of addifJg;another layer of se0"'ty: screening all checked bags for explosives. It's an enormous undertaking - an estimated 1.5 billion bags get checked at U.S. airports every year. · Small airports can easily meet the requirement that all bags be screened because .1hey can use labor-intensive methods such as searching by hand and using a wand that detecls explosives residue on the outside of bags. Larger airports need more effi · cient SUV-sized bomb-detection machines. They 've been in short supply. though, and it can take months for older airports to shore up floors to hold them, build . jJower stations to run them and construct ramps. conveyor belts and guardrails to incorporate them in baggage handling systems. Congress ·originally stipulated that every bag be screened starting Jan. l. But last month lawmakers agreed to extend the deadline after airport managers complained the TSA had waited until this summer to begin ordering, delivering and installing the bomb-detection machines - 100 tale to meet the cut-off date.

' . . .. Commission has taken the quite remarkable step of allowing federal candidates to draw salaries from their campaign funds. While this surely will make great fodder for latenight comedians, it.' s not a bad idea. Federal campaigns in particular have become dominated by peo• pie of significant personal wealth for the simple reason that most .ordinary people cannot afford to take a year off from income-producing work in order to campaign full time. "Why should the only people running be incumbents or multimillionaires?" asked Michael Toner, the FEC commissioner who brought the proposal. The .FECs move undoubtedly will lead some peo- · pie to decide to run for office who otherwise would be held back by personal financial circumstances - · if they are willing to take the inevitable hits from incumbents for accepting campaign salaries.. · On balance, given a complex web of campaign finance regulations, candidate salaries may be a reasonable way to, of all things, democratize politics. TODAY IN HISTORY . BY TH E ASSOCIATED PRESS . Corporate greed destroys more than ·holiday spirit Despite being the season of charity and good will fora!!, one story defines the seedy underbelly of greed that makes the rest of the year such a challenge. In October 1996, Esther Dardinger was diagnosed with metastatic brain tumors. The cancer had spread from her breast. Esther underwent three experimental chemo therapy treatments whiCh significantly reduced her brain tumors. She was well on the road to recovery. A fourth treat!Jlent was scheduled, but Esther's · insurance company, Anthem Blue Cross ·and Blue Shield, decided not to pay for the treatment. Through various disguises and means, the company dodged its responsibility claiming it would not pay for experimental care now considered standard procedure in qualified cases. Esther and her faithful husband called time and again to try and get this Anthem to: reconsider its ·life threatening verdict, but to no avail. Though doctors and nurses, some even working for Anthem, would continue to certify Esther's need for continued care, hostile bean counting bureaucracies in one form or another took away this hope again and again and again. City hall and government · bureaucracy are models of efficiency when compared with greedy insurance companies intent on delay. · . Since it was obvious that Anthem was not going to pay for the life-saving chemotherapy, the Dardingers had no choice but to chang~ tactics and adopt an intravenous chemotherapy program instead despite the dangers associated Today is Monday, Dec. 30. the 364th day of 2002.
