Gov. Kathy Hochul‘s (D-NY) decision to backtrack on New York City’s congestion pricing plan reveals not just her dishonest character but also the conservative nature of many New York City residents.

A record was broken ahead of the Memorial Day weekend for the number of airline travelers screened at U.S. airports, the Transportation Security Administration said Saturday.

More than 2.9 million travelers were screened at U.S. airports on Friday, surpassing a previous record set last year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, according to the transportation security agency.

The Federal Aviation Administration says it's opened an investigation into Boeing regarding inspections of the 787 Dreamliner that "may not have been completed."

The FAA said Monday Boeing "voluntarily informed us in April" that the plane maker may not have completed required inspections to confirm that there was adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the carbon fiber fuselage on certain 787 jets.

The Federal Aviation Administration has opened a new investigation into Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner after Boeing disclosed that inspection records on work at the wing-to-body join were falsified.

Boeing informed the FAA in April that it may not have completed required inspections on some 787s to confirm adequate bonding and electrical grounding where the wings join the fuselage body. Inspection records were falsified at the jet’s final assembly site in South Carolina.

The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it has opened an investigation into the Boeing Dreamliner after the planemaker said some employees had committed “misconduct” by claiming some tests had been completed.

The FAA said it is investigating whether Boeing completed the inspections to confirm adequate bonding and grounding where the wings join the fuselage on certain 787 Dreamliner airplanes “and whether company employees may have falsified aircraft records.”
