Feds Have Plan to Protect U.S. Flights
WASHINGTON (AP)--The government has taken undisclosed steps to protect commercial flights from a missile attack and a task force has been assembled to come up with more ideas, officials said Wednesday.
One approach under consideration is a neighborhood watch program that would educate local police and residents near airports to identify missile parts and to be on the lookout for suspicious people.
"Someone is not going to be able to just whip one of these things out of a briefcase,'' Iannarelli said.
