Page 10 • Thursday, March 1 1, 1999 i Bryan prohibits spankings Agents report access to nation’s airports Cheerlead momtargi BRYAN, Texas (AP) — There will be no more spankings in Bryan’s 13 schools. The Bryan school board, in an unanimous vote, decided Monday to ban corporal punish ment. “I dont think we want to be in the busi ness of hitting kids,” board secretary Susan McKneely told The Ea gle newspaper of Bryan- College Station in Tues day’s editions. McKneely has long sought the removal of corporal punishment. ‘‘Were trying to teach them not to hit people,” she said. Spankings ceased Tuesday in Bryan schools after the school board voted unani mously Monday night to ban corporal punish ment. The ban went into af fect Tuesday. Joy Dyer, the dis trict’s elementary edu cation director, said the practice of paddling ha's been all but nonexistent in the district in recent years. DALLAS (AP) — Federal agents repeatedly sneaked through security doors and onto planes at four major airports, prompting officials to step up in spections at 70 large airports, The Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday. The newspaper obtained a let ter written by the Federal Avia tion Administration’s associate administrator for security, warn ing airports nationwide that if se curity is not improved, it might be necessary to post guards at every airplane. Members of Congress were to be briefed on the security issue at a closed-door meeting. The FAA has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the past 10 years on sophisticated systems intended to limit access to aircraft parking ramps and airplanes to those with security clearances. But federal agents who showed up unannounced at four airports found it was possible to sneak through open vehicle-ac cess gates or to walk through doors behind airline employees without being challenged. ‘‘Without displaying any identification, the agents roamed the air operations area, passing 229 employees, but were chal lenged only 53 times,” wrote Cathal Flynn, the FAA security official.
