Sep. 14--At the airport Thursday afternoon, a rubber-gloved airline employee unzipped Lynn Lambert's bulging suitcase.

"That's another pair of bedroom slippers," she said, watching him paw through it. "Those are just books we collected," she said. "That's a gift for my husband."

He searched everything, even her fanny pack, before her party was escorted to the U.S. Airways Express counter, where their bags were checked for a Pittsburgh flight originally scheduled to leave at 4:45 p.m., now scheduled for 6 p.m.

"They need more security at airports," said Lambert, 53.

Twenty minutes later, Lambert's flight was canceled. It had never left Pittsburgh for Madison.

"They didn't think they were ready yet in Pittsburgh in terms of security precautions," an airline agent explained.
