It does make you wonder, doesn't it? Here's the latest: Putin Orders Russian Airport Security Transfer, Interfax Says Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered security controls at the country's airports to be taken over by the Interior Ministry, Interfax reported. Putin instructed the government to draft legislation that will make preflight checks and other security measures the ministry's responsibility, Interfax reported, citing his press secretary Alexei Gromov, as saying late yesterday in Moscow. The president met government ministers to discuss the crashes on Tuesday of two Russian passenger aircraft within minutes of each other, killing all 89 passengers and crew. The aircraft were on flights from Moscow's Domodedovo airport. Russia's Federal Security Service, which is reviewing the flight recorders from the airplanes to determine the causes of the crashes, said yesterday it hasn't ruled out an act of terrorism. Putin said last week he was concerned that rebels from Chechnya may try to carry out attacks before the republic's presidential election on Sunday.
