By Phil CerroniPoised on the brink of 2014 and

looking eagerly across the Pacific Ocean at hundreds of thousands potential passengers and tons upon tons of cargo, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport anticipates the economic possibilities made possible by the Trans-Pacific Part-nership (TPP), a trade agreement between countries including, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and the U.S. that manages and cul-tivates trade, investment and job creation among member nations.

The TPP’s projected sig-nificance for Texas (principally through the vehicle of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport) was discussed at the Japan-America Society of Dallas/Fort Worth’s Ja-pan Update conference on Feb. 11. Special guests including Ambassa-dor Ron Kirk, and Acting Deputy

U.S. Trade Representative respon-sible for Africa and Asia, Wendy Cutler, expounded upon growing opportunities in the Asian Pacific. With 1,800 flights landing at the airport every day and 1,850 depart-ing, DFW Airport only uses 55 percent of the capacity of its seven runways, and administrators are hungry for the chance to accom-modate growth.

With a combined cargo and pas-senger traffic payload that makes it the fourth largest airport in the world, the airport prides itself on being a powerful economic engine for North Central Texas. Trade agreements like the TPP represent a lucrative opportunity for foreign companies to move more passen-gers and freight through DFW Airport to the rest of the U.S. and the Americas at large.

Unnoticed by many casual trav-

elers, cargo makes up a significant portion of operations at DFW Air-port—shipping to and from its 17 cargo destinations, including To-kyo, Beijing and Taipei, accounts for $16.7 billion of the airport’s $32 billion revenue. More impor-tant, perhaps, than the volume, is the kind of cargo—expensive com-modities like electronic parts and automobile components—that come out of Asian countries. In light of the existing demand for high-dollar products that already pass through North Central Texas, expanded trade protections with this target market would make the region a preeminent clearinghouse for these myriad, highly sought af-ter merchandise items.

Encouraging foreign exports and investment is one thing, but goods and services still need to

Passport kiosks reduce Customs Hall wait timesBy Elaine Paniszczyn

Dallas/Fort Worth International Air-port officially unveiled 30 Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosks to local media Mon., Feb. 10. The kiosks, which are reducing wait times for U.S. and Canadian citizens who arrive at DFW on interna-tional flights, went online Oct. 21. The sys-tem alleviates lines by allowing returning travelers to enter their own passport infor-mation on touch screens and register their return to the country, electronically.

“For the first three months of this op-eration, over 320,000 customers have used APC System, and that represents about 55 percent of our arriving passengers,” said DFW Airport Executive Vice-President for Revenue Management, Ken Kent. “The APC System has allowed our Customs partners to allocate more of their officers to the lines on the other side of the Hall to handle foreign visitors making those lines even shorter.

“The automated passport control system (is) the solution to a problem that became evident last year, one that was rooted in our recent success as an airport,” Kent said. “Over the last three years, DFW Airport has attracted new service from 10 airline partners that started service to 20 new in-ternational destinations.”

The number of recent international de-partures at DFW Airport has grown by 66 percent since 2008, Kent said.

“While that is great news for our airport and our local economy, it has also created longer lines in our Customs Hall for our customers,” he said.

DFW has been working on ways to ad-dress this growth, Kent said.

“We shortened custom lines several years ago starting with Global Entry, but

n Theft, Jan. 30, 5 p.m.A traveler called to say his iPad was possibly stolen from

Terminal D, Gate 36 on Jan. 19. He said he was sitting a few seats away from a boarding/ticket agent using his iPad. He got in line to board and was about to go into tunnel when the at-tendant said he needed to check his bag. He had carried it on the first leg of his flight. She insisted there was no room and gave him a bag ticket. He noticed people boarding after him had carryon bags. When he got home, his iPad was missing from the bag.n Theft, Feb. 3, 1:30 p.m.

About 9 a.m., a Navy Seaman entered the USO and put his bag in the baggage storage room. Now missing are his Navy issue backpack ($40), Navy parka ($200), Blue Jackets Train-ingManual ($40) and his orders. His main concern was locat-ing his orders for his return trip tothe Navy.n Suspicion of Theft/WarrantsFeb. 3, 4:48 p.m.

A DFW Security Guard at Charlie North AOA Gate flagged down a police officer in reference to a suspicious person. A man, approximately six feet tall, wearing a brown coat and baseball hat, exited a vehicle and walked near the Air Tran guideway between the North Service Road and North Inter-national Parkway. Based on recent copper thefts from the Air Tran guideway and the man being dropped off and walking near it, the officer investigated. The man said he had been kicked out of the vehicle by his wife and was walking to Hwy 183 and Beltline. He said he considered walking in the Air Tran guideway but was afraid of getting electrocuted. He slurred some of his words and the officer could smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath. He asked if the officer could give him a ride to the south end of the airport. A check showed the man had outstanding warrants for Possession of Marijuana, Speeding; Failure to Maintain Financial Responsi-bility; Driving While License Invalid; andViolation of Promise to Appear. He was arrested.n Counterfeit Money, Feb. 3, 7:23 p.m.

A money counting machine at the North Toll rejected a $20 bill. A counterfeit marker was used to check the bill which confirmed it to be counterfeit. The paper was thicker than a real $20 bill, the collar around Andrew Jackson was not raised, there was no watermark, and the bill was not cut properly.n Public Intoxication, Feb. 3, 10:01 p.m.

Bartenders at Sky Bar in Terminal E called police about a man falling asleep at the bar and then getting up and leaving his belongings. Officers saw the man leaving a convenience mart. As he walked, he stumbled twice and had difficulty walking in a straight line. The man had slurred speech, glassy

eyes, swayed while standing in place, and smelled of an al-coholic beverage. He said he was on his way to catch a taxi to an Amarillo hotel. He thought he was at the Amarillo Airport. He said he was trying to get to Buffalo, NY. When asked for his ID, he had difficulty finding his wallet and said the bartender must have it. He had two boarding passes for Orlando but was not able to say why he had similar boarding passes from two different airlines. He said he had missed a flight but could not say why. He said he was unable to figure out the flight information because it kept changing. He thought he was sup-posed to be traveling on a third airline. He said he had a few beers and at a later time stated the bar tender had consumed just as many shots as he had. Neither bar tenders appeared to have been drinking. He was arrested for Public Intoxication.n DWI, Feb. 4, 5:38 a.m.

Officers checked on a vehicle seen swerving on Glade Road, which was parked in the Simuflite Lower Employee Parking Lot. Simuflite Security personnel said they did not recognize the vehicle nor the person in it. The vehicle had damages to its right front bumper area, and smoke was coming from its engine block area. Its engine was not running. A man was asleep in the driver’s seat which was in the down position. An officer opened the door and woke the man. An odor of an al-coholic beverage came from inside the vehicle. The man’s eyes were glassy and his movements and speech were slow. When asked how much he had to drink, he said, “Not too much.” He thought he was in the Terminal D Parking Lot. He was unaware of the damage to his vehicle. The key was still inside the igni-tion. The man said the vehicle was still in Drive, and the key in the ignition was on. Standardized Field Sobriety Tests showed the man had been Driving While Intoxicated. Inside his vehicle were numerous open and unopened small bottles containing alcoholic beverages. The man did not have a driver’s license. He said he had lost his job at DFW Airport. For that reason, his SIDA Badge was confiscated. Investigation showed he had a DWI in Fort Worth on Dec. 22. n Theft, Feb. 4, 10:08 a.m.

A pilot reported his employee parking pass (Serial#213470) missing from his rear view mirror. He was not sure if he had locked his vehicle due to not finding any pry marks or scratch-es on his vehicle to gain entry. Pass value: $480.n Fraudulent Documentation, Feb. 4, 10:14 a.m.

A person presented a possible fraudulent Social Security Card at the Access Control Office (ACO) in reference to possible fraudulent documents. ACO personnel said the card failed their validation testing. A detailed inspection of the card confirmed the card stock to be fraudulent. The number on the

card was a valid number; however the identity of the person could not be validated. Customs Border Patrol officers validat-ed the presented U.S. passport card as authentic. The man said he was born in Texas and produced a valid birth certificate. However, he has lived in Mexico all his life. He re-entered the U.S. about a month ago when his father gave him the social security card. He was arrested for presenting a fraudlent gov-ernment document.n DWI, Feb. 4, 4:26 p.m.

During a traffic stop, an officer believed a driver was intoxi-cated. The driver walked slowly and was unsteady on her feet. She said she was going to Coppell and that she lives in Grape-vine. The officer found this statement odd considering she had been stopped going away from Coppell. She said she had just paid off her fines yesterday for a previous DWI. Her eyes were glassy and watering and she had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on her breath. Her arm was wrapped, and she said she had received a second degree burn from some cooking grease four days earlier. She said she has a previous DWI and cannot get in any more trouble. She said she had today con-sumed two mini bottles of wine. These statements were odd considering the officer had only asked her about her arm. She said she takes Bactrim for the burn and Seroquel for Bipolar disorder. Criminal history revealed she has two prior convic-tions for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI). Field Sobriety Tests showed she had been Driving While Intoxicated this day also.

n Theft, Feb. 5, 5:12 p.m.In Level 5, Terminal D parking, a suspicious bag was found

in a passenger’s vehicle. When he returned to his vehicle, he noticed the back window was unzipped and an unfamiliar black gym bag was inside. The bag was not his and he did not know how it got into his vehicle. K9 Unit 933 arrived and cleared the bag for explosives. Nothing was missing from the vehicle and it was not damaged. Police located the owner of the bag who said it was lost on a trip through DFW last week. He gave permission to remove the contents of the bag to see if anything was missing. Missing were three polo shirts $180, four pair boxers $10, four pair socks $10, two pair lady Sketch-ers $50, one pair lady black dressshoes $50, one logo t-shirt $25, one bag of cosmetics $50, and one lady silk bath robe $25. Total: $420. n Public Intoxication, Feb. 6, 1:42 p.m.

An intoxicated subject was reported at Delta Cargo, 2417 N Employee Support Rd. The man was being detained by two U.S. Customs officers. He had urinated on himself and smelled strongly of alcohol. He said, “I’m sorry; I got drunk and lost my bag.” He said he was at the Cargo building because he was attempting to get to his airline flight to Mexico. He said he had walked from the terminal to the cargo building, which is about one mile walking distance from the nearest airlines terminal. The weather outside was about 25 degrees and

snowing and the man was only wearing a t-shirt and jeans with a small blanket over his shoulders. He became angry and argumentative during the conver-sation with officers when asked if there was anyone he knew in the area who would be able to come get him and take care of him. He said he did not know anyone in Dallas. He was arrested for Public Intoxication. n Public Intoxication, Feb. 6, 7:36 p.m.

At Terminal E, Entry 16, a female passenger was arguing with the gate agent. Officers saw her stumble away from the counter, and she seemed dis-oriented and confused. She said she was going to “Salt Lake City. Isn’t this airline first come first serve?” She smelled strongly of an alcoholic beverage. She slurred her words and swayed from side to side. When asked if she was traveling alone, she said, “No. He’s here some-where.” When asked who he was, she said “My boyfriend but I lost him.” She said her mom had just dropped her off a few minutes ago. At that time, her boy-friend arrived. He said they took a taxi from Love Field Airport to DFW about an hour ago and that her mom did drop them off but at Love Field a few hours prior. As the officer spoke with the boy-friend, the woman yelled out, “I only had two 24’s! Why are you messing with me?” The officer asked if she had two 24 ounce beers, and she said, “No, I had four beers –Angry Orchard.” An airline gate agent said the female had been denied boarding a few minutes earlier due to her being intoxicated. The agent said that after she was denied boarding, she took off and they were unable to find her until they saw her talking to of-ficers. Her boyfriend agreed to take care of her until her mother could arrive to pick them up, but she and her boyfriend began arguing, so he walked off. She was arrested for Public Intoxication.n Public Intoxication, Feb. 6, 8:18 p.m.

Officers went to Terminal B19 in reference to an intoxicated man who had been at the ticket counter. He be-came upset with agents and used foul language. Agents said he left the area and exited the terminal, travelling with a female. Later, the man’s location was reportedly at the Terminal B8 baggage claim. When officers found him, he be-came immediately angry with them. He approached them and said he wanted them to pat him down and take him to

jail. Officer told him to take his hands out of his pockets. He then pulled his hands out and held them in the air still angry. For officer safety, he was hand-cuffed before the pat down. During the intoxication investigation, he was found wanted on warrants and arrested.n Theft, Feb. 9, 10:38 a.m.

A tailgate was reported missing. The owner said it had been stolen while he was parked at Terminal E. The tailgate had a rear-view camera installed on it. Value: approximately $1,000.n Public Intoxication, Feb. 9

At TGI Fridays located at Terminal B, Gate 10, an unconscious person was in the bar area.The man was unable to answer questions when asked if he knew why officers were speaking to him. He could only mumble in a soft slurred voice. He had a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage onhis breath and his eyes were heavy and watery. After DFW Paramedics cleared him medically, he stood up but was extremely unsteady on his feet and had to use a wall for support. His tab showed he drank three and a half double shots of Crown Royal in 39 minutes. He was arrested for Pub-lic Intoxication.n Public Intoxication, Feb. 9, 11:45 p.m.

An intoxicated male boarded a rental car bus. His eyes were slightly red. He said he was going to Terminal C parking garage for his car. He said he was parked there and works at the airport.

DFW POLICE REPORTContinued from Page 2


KANSAS CITY, MO—Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Mis-souri, announced that a former Re-public Airlines pilot pleaded guilty in federal court Feb. 10 to threaten-ing the company’s CEO.

Matthew Richard Walker, 37, of Faribault, Minnesota, waived his right to a grand jury and pleaded guilty before U.S. Chief District Judge Greg Kays to federal infor-mation that charges him with ex-plicitly threatening to torture and kill the CEO of Republic Airlines and his family.

By pleading guilty, Walker ad-mitted that he carried and deliv-ered threats on multiple occasions while employed by the airline. On Aug. 17, 2012, a Republic Airways employee discovered a threaten-ing letter in the cockpit of an air-craft while it was parked at Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. Four identical letters were later discovered on aircraft parked at Reagan International Airport, in Charlotte, North Carolina, and at Kansas City International Airport

(KCI), as well as aboard an aircraft en route from Reagan National Airport to Indianapolis Interna-tional Airport. A fifth identical let-ter was also discovered in the crew room at KCI.

According to the plea agree-ment, Walker assured interviewing agents he had no interaction with co-workers regarding the letters; he acted completely alone both in writing and placing the letters.

Under federal statutes, Walker is subject to a sentence of up to five years in federal prison without pa-role, plus a fine up to $250,000. A sentencing hearing will be sched-uled after the completion of a pre-sentence investigation by the Unit-ed States Probation Office.

Major drug trafficker sentenced to 15 years in prison

ATLANTA—Jerome Bushay has been sentenced to prison for trafficking more than 185,000 pills of ecstasy (MDMA), methamphet-

amine, BZP (which is a drug simi-lar to ecstasy), and ketamine.

“Bushay headed an organiza-tion that distributed a staggering amount of drugs in this district,” said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. “Through his con-duct, Bushay earned every day of his prison sentence. Once again, to those enticed by the allures of the drug trade—like money, cars, and clubs—be warned. It’s more likely that you will end up sitting behind bars than you will end up drinking at them.”

Harry S. Sommers, the Spe-cial Agent in Charge of the DEA Atlanta Field Division, stated, “Ecstasy is anything but what its name implies—it offers only addic-tion, pain, and, in some instances, death.” Ketamine, often referred to as ‘Special K,’ and BZP, commonly referred to as ‘Legal Ecstasy,’ are all dangerous and sometimes deadly synthetic drugs. Operation Rude Beast illustrates how DEA and its local, state, and federal partners are committed to removing such dan-gerous substances from our streets.

This defendant will now have plen-ty of time in prison to think about his unlawful acts.”

According to United States At-torney Yates, the charges, and other information presented in court: from late-2009 to late-2010, sev-eral state, federal, and international agencies conducted an investiga-tion of an Atlanta drug trafficking organization with ties to a corrupt federal customs officer. The inves-tigation (code named Operation Rude Beast) led to the arrests, in-dictments, and convictions of more than 15 defendants, including Bushay.

Bushay organized and supplied a countless number of drug trans-actions—in addition to supervising several lower-level drug traffickers. In total, Bushay distributed more

than 185,000 pills. Bushay also used former Customs and Border Protection Officer Devon Samu-els to transport his drug money (Samuels was sentenced to eight years for his conduct). For exam-ple, on Nov. 12, 2010, Bushay had Samuels smuggle $40,000 in drug money into Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. In-side the airport, Samuels used his badge to bypass airport security, which resulted in the bag not being screened. Thereafter, Samuels gave the bag to Bushay’s associate, who was destined for Texas.

On Dec. 15, 2010, law enforce-ment officers executed a coordi-nated takedown of Operation Rude Beast. As part of the take down, agents executed a search warrant

Former pilot pleads guilty to threatening Republic Airlines CEOFBI REPORT

The FBI recently an-nounced a program aimed at deterring people from point-ing lasers at aircraft—a fel-ony punishable by five years in jail—and rewarding those who come forward with in-formation about individuals who engage in this danger-ous activity.

“Aiming a laser pointer at an aircraft is a serious mat-ter and a violation of federal law,” said Ron Hosko, as-sistant director of the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Di-vision. “It is important that people understand that this is a criminal act with poten-tially deadly repercussions.”

The new initiative, which includes a campaign to edu-cate the public about the dangers of “lasing,” will run for 60 days in 12 FBI field offices where laser strikes against aircraft are prevalent. A key part of the program is reward money: The Bureau will offer up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of any individual who intentionally aims a laser at an aircraft.

When aimed at an air-craft from the ground, the powerful beam of light from a handheld laser can travel more than a mile and illu-minate a cockpit, disorient-ing and temporarily blind-ing pilots. Those who have been subject to such attacks have described them as the equivalent of a camera flash going off in a pitch black car

at night.Since the FBI and the

Federal Aviation Adminis-tration (FAA) began track-ing laser strikes in 2005, there have been a more than 1,000 percent increase in the number of incidents with these devices, which can be purchased in stores or online for as little as a few dollars. Last year, 3,960 laser strikes against aircraft were report-ed—an average of almost 11 incidents per day. And it’s estimated that thousands of attacks go unreported every year.

“We hope that more pub-lic awareness about this issue will lower the instances of laser strikes,” Johnson said. “We also want to encour-age people to come forward when they see someone committing this felony—one that could have terrible con-

sequences for pilots and their passengers.” As of December 2013, the FAA has docu-mented at least 35 incidents where pilots required medi-cal attention after a laser strike.

Interfering with the oper-ation of an aircraft has long been a federal crime, but the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 specifi-cally made it a federal felony to knowingly point the beam of a laser at an aircraft. The new law lowered the thresh-old for prosecution, Johnson said, “and the trend is on the rise for jail time in these cas-es.” Last month, for example, a 23-year-old California man was sentenced to 21 months in prison for aiming a laser pointer at a Fresno County Sheriff ’s Office helicopter. Court records showed that the man deliberately tracked

and struck the aircraft.The 12 FBI offices partic-

ipating in the new program are Albuquerque, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City,

Philadelphia, Phoenix, Sac-ramento, San Antonio, San Juan, and the Washington Field Office.

If you have information about a lasing incident or

see someone pointing a laser at an aircraft, call your local FBI office or dial 911.

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Trans-portation (DOT) announced Feb. 14 that it is seeking public comment on whether it should propose a rule to ban voice communications on passengers’ mobile wire-less devices on flights with-in, to and from the United States. The Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on Use of Mo-bile Wireless Devices for Voice Calls on Aircraft, can be found here (www.dot.gov) and provides the public with 30 days in which to offer comments on whether or not a rule should be proposed.

“DOT is committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to express his or her opinion when it comes to this important is-sue, and this Advance No-tice of Proposed Rulemaking will give stakeholders and the public significant op-portunity to share their com-ments,” said U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx. “We will continue to work with the Federal Com-munications Commission as we carry out our respective responsibilities regarding

this important issue.”The ANPRM is intended

to address the significant concerns raised by the public, airlines, flight attendants and members of Congress re-garding the possibility of in-flight voice calls on aircraft. The Federal Communica-tions Commission recently issued a notice of proposed rulemaking that if adopted would, among other things, revise the FCC’s prohibition on the use of cellular service on airplanes. The FCC issued this proposal in light of the technical viability of and in-creasing public interest in us-ing mobile wireless data ser-vices on board aircraft. The DOT’s request for comment would provide insight into passengers’ flight experiences that should be considered if the FCC allows airlines to choose whether to enable voice communications on mobile wireless devices.

Comments on the AN-PRM must be received within 30 days of the date the notice is published. The ANPRM can be found at regulations.gov, docket number DOT-OST-2014-0002-0001.SOURCE U.S. Dept. of Transportation

U.S. DOT seeks comment on whether to ban mobile device voice communications By Jess Paniszczyn

DART (Dallas Area Rapid Tran-sit) is preparing an application for a Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant, the recently announced Low or No Emission Vehicle Deployment Program. The grant would provide partial funding for the purchase of nine electric-powered buses.

An example of one of the electric powered buses, manufactured by Pro-terra, under discussion was on display in front of the downtown DART head-quarters on Feb. 13. Length-wise the 35 foot bus falls in between the 30 and 40 foot busses DART typically uses.

“An electric bus would actually be our second group of zero emission ve-hicles,” said Morgan Lyons, DART’s Assistant Vice President Communica-tions and Community Engagements. “We introduced the first zero emission transit vehicles in Texas back in 1996 when we debuted light rail.

“The plan is to operate them on what is currently called the D-Link route, route 722. The route goes from Uptown to downtown to Oak Cliff. These busses have a range of about 30 miles between charges. We would build a charging station at the conven-tion center, which is about midpoint… so you can keep running it. It is not a matter of it makes a couple of trips, and you take it back to the garage, and put it on a charger. You are able to get it charged and keep it in service...

“The first step is for us to make ap-plication for the grant. Then obtain the

grant. It’s a competitive process,” he said. The project cost is approximately

$13 million, which includes the vehi-cles and the infrastructure to support the operation. Part of the infrastruc-ture consists of a quick-charging sta-tion (it takes 10 minutes to charge the bus) that would be located at DART’s Convention Center Station.

“(An electric bus) is approximately $900,000: close to $1 million,” said Rocky Rogers, DART’s Assistant Vice President Technical Services. “The bus-ses that we have purchased-it depends on the delivery year-go anywhere from $430,000 to $465,000 per bus.

“This (electric bus) is carbon fiber, which is significantly more cost than a typical steel tube construction bus;

because this requires that you build a mold, and you have to put a lot more effort into the construction. But it should provide more reliable service, and it is a much lighter vehicle too, so it has a lighter footprint.

“The electric bus is still a 12 year bus. We have our program set on the replacement of the vehicles for every 12 years. That’s for many reasons, but primarily for technology purposes. Technology improves at such a rate if we start keeping them longer than that, you have cost increases for overhauls that are scheduled ever six years. At say 13-14 years, you have to go through a whole other cycle of overhauls, plus ra-dios, signs, everything else that goes on

here that you are not going to want to put in a 12 year old bus. You buy that in a new bus.”

DART currently has 642 busses in its fleet. If it adds the nine electric busses to the fleet, they should begin service in late 2015 or early 2016. Proterra’s busses have been on the road since 2010 and currently serve seven transit communities.

“For green technology to be sustainable, it has to be financially attainable,” said Dale Hill, the founder of Proterra. “There are very few green technologies that ever become cost competitive with incumbent technology to replace it. Solar cells for instance are very en-vironmentally friendly… but they are more expensive than conventional power genera-tion. This vehicle, however, is cost competi-tive today with a diesel bus, although the bus costs more. A transit bus over 12 years at to-

day’s fuel prices will consume about $600,000 worth of diesel fuel: one bus traveling on av-erage 45,000 miles per year. This same bus running on electricity off the grid will cost $85,000 to $100,000 in electricity in 12 years. You have a half million dollars in fuel savings. That in itself makes it very attractive to the transit industry. Then as a bonus you get quiet and you get no emissions.”

The buses’, Proterra’s EcoRide, technol-ogy is similar to the technology behind the Downtown streetcar opening next year.

In addition to DART and the FTA, other funding partners may include the city of Dal-las, Downtown Dallas Inc., the North Cen-tral Texas Council of Governments, Texas Transportation Institute, Texas Department of Transportation, North Texas Tollway Au-thority, the General Land Office of the State of Texas, Cavallo Energy (DART’s electric power provider) and Proterra.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Travelers on Alaska Airlines flights between Anchorage and Fairbanks and Anchorage and Kodiak will soon enjoy an extra infusion of local flavor in the form of Silver Gulch Brewing & Bottling Co.’s Old 55 Pale Ale.

“Silver Gulch is a successful local business based in the Fairbanks area, and we’re excited to offer their beer on our Q400 flights within Alaska,” said Marilyn Romano, Alaska Airlines’ regional vice president – Alaska. “This continues our tradition of serving products made in the communities we proudly serve.”

Passengers will have the opportunity to sample the mod-erately hopped, American-style pale ale free of charge begin-ning March 3, when Alaska Airlines introduces the Bombar-dier Q400 to the state of Alaska. The flights will be operated for Alaska Airlines by its sister carrier, Horizon Air. These flights will feature complimentary soft drinks, Starbucks cof-fee, Northwest wine and microbrews (for passengers 21 and

older), and A la Cart planeside baggage service.“Travelers are going to enjoy our popular pale ale,” said

Glenn Brady, president of Silver Gulch Brewing and Bottling Co. “It’s a really nice beer that has a broad appeal. It’s going to enlighten a lot of people on what a craft beer can be, in terms of ‘Well I never thought I’d enjoy that, but I did.’”

The brewery, which has locations in Anchorage and north of Fairbanks, will bottle the beer in stainless steel “Kleen Kan-teens,” which are lighter, stronger and more environmentally friendly than traditional glass bottles.

“The pale ale we serve to customers onboard our Q400 flights will be about as fresh as you can get,” said Lisa Luchau, Alaska Airlines’ director of onboard food and beverage. “It’ll be bottled and packed every day.”

Samples are about 6.5 ounces and will be offered to cus-tomers on flights operating after 11 a.m.

FAA grounds Valentine’s Flower Delivery Express drone

COMMERCE TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- FlowerDelivery-Express.com recently conducted the first flower delivery by drone. In response to the Federal Aviation Administration, which informed the company that commercial use is only authorized on a case-by-case basis, FlowerDeliveryExpress.com CEO Wesley Berry was forced to halt future testing with drones.

FlowerDeliveryExpress.com had intended to deliver as many free rose bouquets as possible to its beta test group on Valentine’s Day so as to benchmark the delivery capacity of its drone. The company currently uses traditional delivery meth-ods to serve its several million customers across the country.

“Unfortunately, we can no longer conduct testing of deliv-ering flowers by drone,” Berry said. “However, the good news is that this technology is here to stay. When the time is right, we’ll be ready for orders to be delivered, not by an address, but by GPS coordinates. It’s exciting to plan the future of the business based on this emerging technology.”

Berry maintains his online floral delivery operation by staying ahead of others in the industry, and by testing and implementing technology to enhance the delivery of flowers.

Berry added: “Cupid’s wings have been clipped!”SOURCE FlowerDeliveryExpress.com

According to Wesley Berry, the first flower delivery by drone occurred in Metro Detroit on Feb. 8. The process, however, has been interrupted by FAA regulations restricting the commercial use of drones. / Courtesy photo


we still saw long wait lines of three and four hours this past summer in Customs, and that is no way to wel-come our guests,” Kent said. “Fortu-nately, we were already well on our way in implementing the Automated Passport Control Program which we first installed in October (2013). This system has drawn great reviews from our customers and made the custom-er experience better.

“In the months ahead, we’ll also see 24 more kiosks added to quickly handle the entry of U.S. permanent residents and citizens from nations that hold visa waivers including the United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea, The Netherlands and Spain,” Kent said.

Judson W. Murdock II, CBP Houston Director of Field Opera-tions, was at the unveiling.

“CBP is proud to partner with Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to transform the interna-tional arrivals process here,” Mur-dock said.

“As one of the world’s largest and busiest airports, DFW recognizes the importance of having the high-est standards of excellence in both security and traveler facilitation and bringing APC technology is indica-tive of that commitment.”

Later this year, DFW plans to im-plement a lane for one-stop service for international arriving customers who do not have checked baggage,” Murdock said.

“We had some significant chal-lenges last summer,” Murdock said.

“We don’t want to see that again coming into spring break and sum-mer, so I think we’ve hit the mark here. Through our joint efforts, we are dramatically improving the facilita-tion and security of the international traveler.”

DFW ranks tenth among U.S. Airports for international travelers and processed more than 3.2 million travelers, in 2013, Murdock said.

“That’s a nine percent increase since 2009,” Murdock said. “These are major economic benefits associat-ed with this growth, and (it) presents challenges to the passengers and also to maintain our security posture.”

The automation of immigration forms will save CBP between $15 million and $17 million annually, and that should double with participation in their trusted traveler program and Global Entry. Murdock said.

“DFW is among a leading group of international gateway airports, air carriers and private sector partners rolling out automated passport con-trol,” He said other airports with this service are in New York, Vancouver, Montreal, Chicago, Miami, Toronto, Seattle, Houston and Orlando. “CBP has already seen more than a 20 per-cent decrease in wait time at those airports using APC kiosks. Since December of 2013, we have seen a 15 percent decrease here at DFW even while passenger volume has increased more than 9 percent during that time frame.”

“The simple steps of the APC ki-osks reduce processing and wait times for travelers and at the same time support security and fight against crime, providing our officers time to focus on travelers and any risk they

may present.” There is no registration process for

the APC and it is available to U.S. and Canadian citizens.

“It will soon be rolled out to visa waiver enrollments, and we’re work-ing on developing technology for legal permanent residents as well,” Murdock said.

How APC kiosks work• Select language of choice.• Answer if traveling with family

or alone.• Watch a video showing how to

put passport into machine. The video will continue to repeat until the ac-tion is completed.

• Take self-photo with kiosk’s camera.

• Confirm on-screen that your in-formation is correct.

• Answer declaration questions.• Confirm your flight information.• Machine prints receipt.• Take receipt and passport to

Hall exit.• Collect baggage downstairs.• Show the APC receipt with

passport to Customs officer and exit

building.“We have virtually been able to

eliminate this wait time for U.S. and Canadian citizens,” said Ken Bu-chanan, DFW Airport Executive Vice-President of Revenue Manage-ment and Customer Service. “The entire process takes about 20 min-utes. We would like to be considered the gateway into the United States. As you make your decisions from around the world to fly to the United States, we’d like to think you’d choose DFW Airport because of ease of navigating our airport.

“The(amount of ) information that (APC) is collecting is high, and we will not compromise on that,” Bu-chanan said. “The agents that would have otherwise handled the U.S. cus-tomers that are now being handled through machines, can move down and help and assist the international passengers, so that gets expedited as well.”

DFW has 20 international des-tinations around the world and will add more international markets start-ing this summer, Buchannan said.

reach the end user quickly. The larg-est cargo destination in the U.S. that does not have a port on an ocean or a major river, DFW Airport is situated at a web of interstates, an easy tar-get for truck transport. Ninety-eight percent of the country’s population resides within a 48-hour drive of this nexus. And cargo’s economic im-pact extends far beyond the airport’s 18,000-acre campus. As one of the epicenters of the electronics indus-try, not only would the airport cre-ate more shipping jobs, but support

industries like sales and maintenance would flourish as well.

Passenger travel is also a power-ful economic dynamo in its own right, and DFW Airport connects North Central Texas with 54 in-ternational destinations and will be adding Shanghai, Hong Kong, Doha and Abu Dhabi in 2014. It attracts prominent airlines through gener-ous economic incentives that will total $50 million over the next few years. Granted in the form of ser-vices like waived landing fees and marketing money (paid for in part by concession and revenue parking), these stimuli are limited by federal law which stipulates they cannot last

longer than two years, and only one year for airlines flying out of nearby countries like Mexico.

The airport justified this incredi-ble expenditure, said Chris Poinsatte, Executive Vice President-CFO for DFW Airport, because each major city the airport adds as a destination brings economic development to our area, to the tune of $200-250 million each year. To put that in perspective, he explained, it is the equivalent of hosting a Super Bowl for each new destination. With plans to establish a total of 65-70 international cities within the next five years, the region could be injected with as much as $4 billion due solely to this one facet of

the airport’s of expansion.It is no accident that airport ad-

ministrators and transit professionals continually use the term “connect.” In-centives fit into a larger concept—the Aerotropolis, an approach that arrang-es a region’s economic and social de-velopment around an airport. All lines of transportation lead to it, and resi-dential, industrial and business clusters are designed into small nodes along transportation corridors. The goal is to facilitate the efficient spread of people, services and ideas from a small geo-graphic area out into the world.

“(It is) the power of the hub, and connecting everybody through DFW,” Poinsatte said.

Inventive battle of good and evil feels disjointed

Movies based on well writ-ten books are often the hardest to get right, especially ones that need much in the way of back story and character explanation. Such is the case with Winter’s Tale. The story

is moving and in-triguing, the char-acters are strong and engaging, the romance sweet. But there is a dis-connect that hap-pens when you try and do too much with not enough time to tell it all.

Set in New York in the early 1900’s the story revolves around

Peter Lake (Colin Farrell), a street wise thief with an extraordinary gift. He is on the outs with a local mobster (Russell Crowe) who has put a price on Peter’s head. When Peter falls in love with a young heir-ess ( Jessica Brown Findlay), dying of an incurable disease, he is will-ing to risk it all to be with her. His hope is that his gift will once again be able to give her life. It is then that the battle of good and evil, an-gels and demons takes over and the story takes a creative twist.

There are many fascinating lay-ers to this story. The problem comes in that there is not enough time to flesh them all out. Even at two hours the film skims over certain character arches and history that you know must be interesting; espe-cially in relation to the angels and demons living on the streets of New York. Also Peter’s past has many un-answered questions that may not be tied to the romantic part of the story but would still be good to know.

This is a love story at heart though and that part they got right. Peter’s love for a dying woman and his desire to do everything in his power, and beyond, to save her is touching and moving.

Winter’s Tale is rated PG-13 for violence and some sensuality. I give it 3 out of 5.
