Washington officials and 39 airports warned that the December 31 mandatory baggage screening deadline could disrupt operations and delay travel. They asked Secretary Mineta to pressure Congress to delay the deadline, but the Transportation Department remains committed to enforcing the law, citing the need to screen about 1 billion bags annually. Rep. Mica said the timing is challenging and Congress may revisit after the elections.
