Transportation chief orders crackdown on air security lapses

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta has ordered federal security officials to crack down on "unacceptable" screening failures at the nation's airports.
Mineta said flights will be held and passengers and luggage rescreened if secure areas are compromised or improper screening discovered.

"The public, however, must also understand the need for patience," he said. "That patience is the new form of patriotism."
