Bwi

Security at BWI to be discussed during exhibition Speakers from Baltimore-Washington International Airport's information technology department will address the sixth annual E-Gov 2003 Conference and Exposition, scheduled for Wednesday at the Washington Convention Center. The topic will be security-related technology in use at BWI and around the world, including vehicle-screening systems and electronic baggage screening. AACC president to speak at business breakfast BWI Business Partnership will hold a Spirit of Success breakfast meeting at 7:45 a.m. June 18 at the Historical Electronics Museum, 1745 W. Nursery Road.

As Maryland's most vital economic development stimulater, Baltimore-Washington International Airport's health and welfare should be of paramount concern to state leaders. That's why emerging plans to separate the airport from the stranglehold of state government are so important.Next year's General Assembly will almost certainly be asked to approve a new airport authority freed of bureaucratic constraints. The idea is to run BWI more like a for-profit private enterprise. Equally important, a separate airport authority could pursue an ambitious $400 million, six-year improvement program on an accelerated schedule by floating its own bonds, backed by airport revenues.

Parking lot opens; bus service links to Greenbelt Metro With Thanksgiving travel days fast approaching, passengers using Baltimore-Washington International Airport will find new services aimed at making traveling easier.

The lot will provide passengers with additional options for parking when visiting the airport at a cost of $2 an hour, $11 a day. Travelers will also have new access to the Washington subway system when the BWI Express bus service begins Nov. 13. The service will provide a direct connection between BWI and the Greenbelt Metro Station.
