Pumps' Perplexities

Here it is, 2007, and the TV nightly news is constantly
"running" stories about the poor Air Traffic Control
system in the United States.....Their stories also include
the plight of overcrowding, departure delays and
baggage loss.......

It seems like they are "running" the same stories, with
some updated data, that they "ran" back in 2000-1.....
The days prior to September 11, 2001......If I remember
correctly the airline industry was having the same
problems........

After 9/11 no one bothered to travel and the Air Traffic
Control problem went away......There were less
travelers and less airplanes in the sky........

Looks like America is back to normal......Six years later
the same old problem......Between late 2001 and 2006
the system was not broke so no one fixed it......Well
guess what America must be back to normal because
the problem has returned......Pumps
