I saw it on 60 Minutes. The report was actually completed and published at the beginning of Nov. 2000. It was commissioned by the FAA to study airplane/airport security. Now I don't want to say Bush ignored it, because on 60 Minutes, one of the talking heads said someone in the administration would have got around to it by the fall of 2001, which would have been a normal time frame for a new president to have it on his agenda. But clearly, the authors of the report stated they tried to get things fast-tracked, but to no avail. I'll try going to the 60-Minute web site and see if I can dig something up about it.

Dear Karen. In that the news is fair and balanced. Vacant liberal minded idiotic fabrications rich in slander and a turkey in proffer will not be discussed. And slime will lose as the news is being told by the FOX. Sunday, Dec. 2, 2001 10:13 p.m. EST Fox Tops CNN in Prime Time For the first time in its five-year history, the Fox News Channel supplanted CNN for the month of November as the most-watched cable news network in prime time, the latest Nielsen ratings show. CNN's daytime schedule still leads Fox, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Friday. MSNBC trailed in third place in both time periods. "The results underscore a lesson for CNN," the paper said. "When the biggest news happens, CNN wins. But as news tapers off, CNN's viewers drift away in big numbers, while more Fox viewers stick around." For the first two months after 9/11, CNN was able to capitalize, much as it had during the Gulf War 10 years ago. But as the news cycle returns to a semblance of pre-9/11 normalcy, not even a shooting war in the Mideast has been able to keep CNN on top. "Larry King Live," once the crown jewel of CNN's schedule, was "easily" trounced by FNC's "The O'Reilly Factor." And FNC's "Fox & Friends," which lagged behind Fox alum Paula Zahn's new CNN morning show immediately after 9/11, is back on top. "F&F" averaged 797,000 total viewers to Zahn's 739,000 total viewers, according to Nielsen data, the New York Post reported Thursday. .newsmax. 2001/12/2/211426 tom watson tosiwmee
