Senior officials insist they were not prepared for terrorists using planes as weapons.

DOD stands firm on airline baggage screening deadline
Washington officials reject airport calls to delay the December 31 deadline for mandated baggage screening. Lawmakers note Congress may revisit the issue. Officials warn of crowded, hurried installations and disrupted passenger flows if the pace slows. Mineta says machines can be deployed to check about 1 billion bags yearly before 2008 under the law. Rep. Mica cautions the end-year rush to acquire equipment and hire screeners will be challenging.
