Uh Bill, You Forgot About This.

Bill wants to make the nations airlines better and safer. His plan didn't include anything about this. Back to the drawing board with you, Bill.

This from the AP newswire.

Minutes before a Southwest Airlines plane was to take off Sunday, the co-pilot was removed from the plane and arrested by the FBI on suspicion of being intoxicated.
A Transportation Security Agency screener at Salt Lake City International Airport reported to supervisors that the man's breath smelled of alcohol when he went through a security screening line, FBI spokesman Patrick Kiernan said.

Carl Fulton, 41, of Fort Worth, Texas, was arrested by FBI agents and booked into the Salt Lake County Jail just after noon for investigation of operating a common carrier while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, a federal offense.
The Boeing 737 was scheduled to depart Salt Lake City International Airport with 123 passengers at 8 a.m., traveling first to Phoenix and then to Albuquerque, N.M. It departed 15 minutes late, after the co-pilot was replaced.
