National drive begins to curb skyjacking at airports
The first stage of a major anti hijacking effort unfolds next month with armed airport guards to supplement security. The program costs an estimated 300000 dollars annually at Philadelphia International Airport. Passengers report delays and varied inspections as airports test enhanced screening, with some successes in reducing delays at National and Dulles airports. A man with a loaded revolver, a large knife, a screwdriver, and metal detectors trigger incidents but passengers are allowed to fly after security.
