Original Article A slight gap in air travel security Mar. 20, 2006 12:00 AM On a recent trip to Atlanta, a friend had his wallet stolen just minutes before having to catch a plane back to Phoenix. This posed a dilemma, since he had no form of identification whatsoever. (Note that he is originally from South Africa, has a thick accent and very Middle Eastern looks.)

So much for homeland security! Mary Leshner Scottsdale, Arizona
