Tighten Up At Airports
A sweeping FAA security tightening followed a coast to coast series of bomb threats blamed on the radical Weatherman faction. FAA issued a nationwide alert and increased checks at most airports while the FBI and Defense Department declined comment. Local airports like Friendship near Baltimore and Dulles in Virginia reported escalated precautions as authorities probed the threats, with calls of intent to bomb layover planes. Separate reports covered a Wichita State disaster probe and new charter industry scrutiny ordered by Secretary Volpe as planes were grounded.

Wheat Plan Sets 1971 Farm Bill Framework
The Agriculture Department moves to implement a wheat program for 1971 after the farm bill passage. A set-aside system replaces acreage allotments, limiting wheat to 13.3 million acres in 1971 and 15 million in 1972 and 1973. Farmers idle land and grow conserve crops while retaining the $1.25 per bushel loan on wheat, with certificates tied to compliance.
