At the top are John Kerry, the party establishment's favorite; Dick Gephardt, the Midwest labor candidate. And Howard Dean...

The large number of grounded FAMs--the armed men and women who fly undercover and are authorized to use deadly force--has industry veterans worried. "It raises concerns about the entire TSA vetting process," says Captain Bob Lambert, who flies for a major airline and is president of the Airline Pilots' Security Alliance.
