*Calpernia, this aricle also addresses that flight from Mexico.
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Earlier this week, a U.S.-bound flight from Mexico reversed course in midair because of concerns about improper screening of passengers.
A Homeland Security official, asking not to be identified, said Mexican authorities made the decision to turn the plane around after the United States informed them it did not feel the airline had taken adequate security measures.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that the United States had reached an agreement with a French delegation to impose stricter security requirements on flights thought to be suspicious. The French agreed to turn over passenger lists for any at-risk flight at least one hour before takeoff, rather than waiting until the flight is in the air, as is now done, the Times reported.
Several Air France flights between Paris and Los Angeles were canceled Dec. 24 because of terrorism concerns."
I'm glad to see the Mexico Flight info is out over the AP too. Thanks.
