The Plane Truth?
Guest host Katherine Lanpher asks if airline security is still inadequate, five years after 9/11. Then, guitarist Andy Summers looks back at his days with The Police. And a seasoned ghost story writer tells us about his debut novel. Plus: a new book documents the atrocities committed by Louis Darquier--a Nazi collaborator who served as the commissioner for Jewish Affairs for France's Vichy government.
Is Airplane Security Inadequate?
