FILE - In this Dec. 26, 2009, file photo, Delta-Northwest Airlines plane N820NW is pulled back to the terminal at the Detroit Metropolitan airport in Romulus, Mich.

The tighter security rules, imposed after the attempted bombing of an airliner on Christmas 2009, reveal a security threat that persisted for more than seven years after the 2001 terror attacks against New York and Washington.
