> All three network morning shows covered Chertoff’s press conference in special report mode.

> ABC News placed correspondent Mike Lee inside Heathrow via cell phone for man-in-the-terminal interviews. Fox News had a phoner from an intern, Jenn Jarvis, in a security line at the airport…

> CNN booked correspondent Deb Feyerick on a JFK-to-Heathrow flight this morning. Her 9:25am phoner from the plane included a helpful description of her security experience…

> CNN’s “Security Watch” goes too far: “Let’s go live to the Homeland Security Department,” Tony Harris said on American Morning, then tossed to Jeanne Meserve in CNN’s D.C. studio…

> FNC’s coverage is using a “Terror in the Sky” label. Is that really appropriate, since this plot has been thwarted?

> CNBC has placed a pointless “Terror Threat” logo in the lower right corner of the screen.
