Intelligence warnings about terrorists bent on using foreign airlines to attack targets in the US forced the cancellation of Air France service between Paris and Los Angeles over the Christmas holiday. They also triggered high-level, intensive security talks between officials in the US and France. Six flights were cancelled Christmas Eve and Christmas Day -- three headed from LA to Paris and three headed from Paris to LA. In addition, Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, often seen by aviation advocates as the man who cried wolf, secured from the Department of Homeland Security TFRs over parts of the Windy City. For the third time in two years, flights below 3,000 have been banned by the TSA over downtown Chicago unless otherwise given permission.
