FAA finds plastic handguns pose no threat to flights
FAA officials say metal detectors and X ray screening can detect plastic handguns, countering claims of a new terrorism menace. House leaders support a Mrazek Weiss bill to ban manufacture or import of undetectable handguns. A subcommittee heard that only steel-based designs exist on the market, easily spotted by current airport security. Also included are local emergency calls and lottery results from Maryland, Pennsylvania, and D.C. on Tuesday night.
