Changes to airspace still pending

11/8/01 7:25:47 AM ET — Representatives from the FAA met yesterday with 
officials from the new Homeland Defense Department and other government 
security officials to consider how to address the expiration of the recent 
notam on nuclear facilities. The FAA is being pressed to either restrict 
airspace access or have procedures in place to identify suspect operations 
that provides for an appropriate response capability against attempts to use 
an aircraft in an attack against a nuclear site. Discussions are also 
resuming on the possibility of easing the current restrictions in enhanced 
class B airspace that primarily affects "specialty operations."
