NYTimes is reporting that some of the BA Flights were canceled due to crew refusing to fly with armed marshals onboard.....

B/S or fact?

Also.....

"President Bush had one threshold question for Tom Ridge, his secretary for homeland security, as they met at the White House situation room on Dec. 22. "Would you let your son or daughter fly on that plane?" he asked Mr. Ridge, according to a senior administration official privy to the conversation.

"Absolutely not," the secretary responded. "Well," Mr. Bush said, "neither would I."
