Reps. John Mica (R-FL) And Robin Hayes (R-NC) On Aviation Security

The chairman of the House Aviation Subcommittee, Florida Republican John Mica, is on tour. He's checking out the needs of airports nationwide when it comes to issues of passenger and baggage screening.

Mica and North Carolina Republican Robin Hayes -- also a member of the subcommittee -- were at Charlotte-Douglas Airport Wednesday. And so was ANN.

This feature is in addition to our daily news briefing -- available in either a quick "Touch And Go" format, or an expanded Aero-Briefing -- where you'll hear these stories:

...Will we hear anything more about the possibility of aviation user fees? One powerful congressman says... not likely...

...How long will the current carry-on restrictions last? The answer isn't clear...

...And was terrorism the reason a UAL flight from London was diverted Wednesday?

Our DAILY programs consist of (at least) three separate products.

• ANN's Daily 'Touch & Go' Aero-Cast: A quick look at the most recent news of the day... short, succinct and to the point. The usual 'Touch & Go' takes but a few minutes and is a summary, only, of the day's events... and it only takes a few minutes of your time.
• ANN's Daily Briefing Aero-Cast: The Daily ANN Report (ANNRep for short), is a more comprehensive look at the day's news. We give you the whole buzz... the news and features that occupy the forefront of aviation news as well as solid background on the subjects that aviators and other aviation professionals need to stay informed on.
• ANN's Daily 'ASR' Feature Aero-Cast: Our daily 'Aero-News Special Report' involves a more in-depth view of a story or two that dominated (or will be dominating) the day's news. Far more detailed than any single story in our standard ANN Daily Reports, this is a solid chance to get a close look at the stories and topics that matter. ASR features may include exclusive interviews with Aviation's Newsmakers, ANN's Special Investigative reports and solid analysis of the stories that will have undeniable impact on the world of aviation and aerospace.
