Egypt resumes air freight service to United States after 2015 halt
CAIRO (Reuters) - EgyptAir has resumed air freight service to New York after a three-year halt following the downing of a Russian airliner over the Sinai Peninsula in an Islamist bomb attack, a source at the flagship carrier said on Thursday. "(The United States) was apprehensive after the incident, and this may be normal for it, but security procedures and precautions are greater now. It saw there is no (more) need for it (suspension of air freight)," the source told Reuters. A bomb spirited aboard the Russian airliner brought it down in Sinai in October 2015, killing all 224 on board. The attack prompted Russia to halt all flights to Egypt and Britain to cease flights to Sinai. EgyptAir resumed taking freight on its commercial flights to New York on Wednesday, the source said. There would be one freight-bearing flight each day of the week with a capacity of 10-15 tonnes of cargo per flight. He said EgyptAir also had preliminary plans to start freight service to Washington D.C. … [Read more...] about Egypt resumes air freight service to United States after 2015 halt
Report: Federal Air Marshal Service curtailing surveillance
BOSTON — The Federal Air Marshal Service says it's curtailing a domestic surveillance program that's been accused of spying on thousands of unwitting passengers who are not suspected of a crime or appear on a terror watch list. The agency's new director, David Kohl, tells the Boston Globe that air marshals are "no longer capturing" any "routine passenger behaviors on a plane that would be seen as normal behavior." The changes follow a series of reports by the newspaper that found thousands of ordinary citizens had been swept up in "The Quiet Skies" program and watched by armed, undercover agents through airports and on flights. Agency officials say marshals no longer document travelers' minor movements and behavior, such as whether they use the restroom during a flight or fidget in the airport. … [Read more...] about Report: Federal Air Marshal Service curtailing surveillance
