Weren't some LAX - Europe flights cancelled/delayed also? Those would have a ton of fuel on board.

Well, I can tell you one thing that is certain... 3 Mile Island must have been of some concern lately. The amount of air patrols going over my house since about a week before Christmas is pretty impressive. Add to that the number of single engine prop planes flying around, and it seems like they were worried about it. I live about 15 minutes from TMI, and at one time worked there in the IT department. I am really hoping security has gotten a hell of alot better since than. When I worked there, you just needed your security badge, and I had my car searched in a random check once in 2 years....
