COMMENTS: Flight of Fancy
ABC offered a serious report on airport security near the top of its newscast as Lisa Stark (subscription required) covered the expose by Lisa Fletcher of KNXV-TV, her network's Phoenix affiliate, that Sky Harbor Airport fails to screen terminal workers on the night shift. More fascinating by far was the artistic airlines report Robert Krulwich (subscription required) filed for ABC's closer. He showed us the time-lapse animation by graphic artist Aaron Koblin that drew an outline of the United States by tracing a day's flight patterns of the entire civil aviation fleet, 19,000 jetliners in all. The graphics were so gorgeous they made Krulwich giggle. You will too.
