Airlines May Be Forced to Ban Peanuts Due to Allergies

2010-06-13T10:42:00.000-07:00

Airlines may soon be forced to ban peanuts on their flights due to passengers who may have a severe allergy. The ban is not in the hands of the airline operators but instead federal regulators will make the decision. Proponents for the ban say the 1.8 million Americans, who have a peanut allergy will feel safer and more comfortable without the fear of suffering a serious allergic reaction while in the air.

Peanut growers think otherwise. Peanuts are considered a staple on flights and the move to ban them would dramatically affect their business. The 84 page document was submaitted for review and includes three options. The first would be to ban peanuts from all flights, period. The second, is to ban peanuts on a flight when a passenger requests it. Lastly, design a peanut free zone on all airplanes where those with allergies could sit and not worry about coming into contact with peanut dust. The U.S. Transportation Department is open to suggestions about how this delicate matter can be best handled for all parties.

The ban has been proposed because of the severe reactions that many peanut allergy sufferers can have. Anaphylactic shock or death is possible in some rare cases. People with children usually avoid flying because of the danger of peanut dust floating in the air when several bags are opened. Close quarters and recycled air make it a lethal combination for some allergy sufferers. The ban may be a disaster for peanut growers, but may potentially increase the client base for airlines.

Security slip let suspect on plane, near takeoff

2010-05-05T09:34:00.000-07:00

WASHINGTON – The no-fly list failed to keep the Times Square suspect off the plane. Faisal Shahzad had boarded a jetliner bound for the United Arab Emirates Monday night before federal authorities pulled him back.

The night's events, gradually coming to light, underscored the flaws in the nation's aviation security system, which despite its technologies, lists and information sharing, often comes down to someone making a right call.

As federal agents closed in, Faisal Shahzad was aboard Emirates Flight 202. He reserved a ticket on the way to John F. Kennedy International Airport, paid cash on arrival and walked through security without being stopped. By the time Customs and Border Protection officials spotted Shahzad's name on the passenger list and recognized him as the bombing suspect they were looking for, he was in his seat and the plane was preparing to leave the gate.

But it didn't. At the last minute, the pilot was notified, the jetliner's door was opened and Shahzad was taken into custody.

After authorities pulled Shahzad off the plane, he admitted he was behind the crude Times Square car bomb, officials said. He also claimed to have been trained at a terror camp in Pakistan's lawless tribal region of Waziristan, according to court documents. That raised increased concern that the bombing was an international terror plot.

Shahzad, a Pakistani-born U.S. citizen, was charged Tuesday with terrorism and attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction in Saturday evening's failed Times Square bombing. According to a federal complaint, he confessed to buying an SUV, rigging it with a homemade bomb and driving it into the busy area where he tried to detonate it.

The Obama administration played down the fact that Shahzad, a U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, had made it aboard the plane. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano wouldn't talk about it, other than to say Customs officials prevented the plane from taking off. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the security system has fallback procedures in place for times like this, and they worked.

And Attorney General Eric Holder said he "was never in any fear that we were in danger of losing him."

But it seemed clear the airline either never saw or ignored key information that would kept Shahzad off the plane, a fact that dampened what was otherwise hailed as a fast, successful law enforcement operation.

The no-fly list is supposed to mean just that. And Shahzad's name was added to the list early Monday afternoon as a result of breaking developments in the investigation, according to a law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.

But when Emirates sold the ticket, it was working off an outdated list. Airline officials would have had to check a Web forum where updates are sent if it were to flag him. Because they didn't, law enforcement officials were not aware of his travel plans until they received the passenger list 30 minutes before takeoff, the official said.

By that time, passengers are usually on board.

Gibbs blamed the airline but emphasized a more positive bottom line: U.S. authorities did get Shahzad on the no-fly list and he never took off.

"There's a series of built-in redundancies, this being one of them," Gibbs said. "If there's a mistake by a carrier, it can be double-checked."

The list is only as good as the nation's intelligence and the experts who analyze it. If a lead is not shared, or if an analyst is unable to connect one piece of information to another, a terrorist could slip onto an airplane because his name is not on the watch list.

Officials allege that's just what took place ahead of the attempted Christmas Day attack on a Detroit-bound jet. In the case of the Times Square suspect, the intelligence process worked: Shahzad's name was on the list, but the airlines didn't check it when he bought his ticket.

Shahzad went through normal airport security before he boarded the plane. He was unarmed and had no explosive material on him when he was arrested.

Emirates did not return repeated calls for comments. Earlier in the day, the company issued a general statement saying it was cooperating with investigators and takes every precaution to ensure its passengers' safety.

The reliance on airlines to check government lists has been a known problem for years. The government has long planned to take over the responsibility for matching passengers to watch lists, but the transition has taken longer than expected. The new program is still in the test phase for domestic airlines and is still months away from beginning with international carriers.

China Airlines leads Rate Cuts

2010-04-08T09:06:00.000-07:00

Taiwan's largest airline company, China Airlines, announced unexpectedly Wednesday a whopping 20-percent cut in rates for direct flights between Taiwan and four major Chinese cities including Shanghai, pressing other carriers to follow suit.

The rate cuts were the result of customer complaints of unreasonably high rates, legislators' criticism and pressure from the Civil Aeronautics Administration (CAA) . They were also seen as a far-sighted scheme anticipating increased need for direct cross-strait flights and soaring demands to and from Shanghai in particular as the 2010 World Expo will be kicking off in May.

Taiwan's travel agents, however, were lukewarm about the lower prices. They said the reduced tickets were still higher than prices at the beginning of the year. For example, they said, the price for an economy seat on a direct Taipei-Shanghai round-trip flight increased by NT$4,000 over the past three months compared with the NT$3,700 cut introduced by China Airlines.
