Washington notes rising hijacking risks as 14,000 daily flights and 500,000 passengers face screening. Government and airlines plan magnetometers, baggage searches, and limited screening on major routes while weighing costs, delays, and passenger inconvenience. International actions seek to curb culprits and cut foreign aid to noncooperative states.

Conditions Favor Turkey and Quail in Edwards Plateau
In the Edwards Plateau, Turkey and quail are bouncing back as range conditions improve. Texas Parks and Wildlife biologists note upland game birds are making up for losses from last year’s drought with early nesting through early summer and many young birds observed across the 16 million acre regulatory area. If rains persist, hunters may be optimistic for next season’s populations.
