Bush spokesman: Some U.S. airports to tighten up
The Associated Press 


In response to the events in Britain, some airports in the United States
will tighten security, President Bush's spokesman, Tony Snow, said today. He
said the terror alert status would not change, however. 

''The most you're going to see right now is some inconvenience - some
increased inconvenience of airline passengers, more likely at large airports
than small,'' Snow said.

Britain raised its security alert level to critical -- the highest possible
level -- indicating terror attacks are imminent after two men drove a
flaming vehicle into the Glasgow Airport today, and two car bombs were found
in London Friday. 

Bush, who was vacationing with his family in Kennebunkport, Maine, was being
kept abreast of the events in London and Scotland.

''We're in contact with British authorities on the matter,'' said Gordon
Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council.
