Bryan prohibits spankings Agents report access to nation’s airports Cheerlead

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.
