Review Quotes: Nine concise chapters that offer a tour of security checkpoints, the cockpit, the control tower, and more are framed as responses to questions--all audience-appropriate and many amusing, like "Can a Body Scanner See Me Naked?"... Spreads crammed with details have a Richard Scarry or Where's Waldo vibe... Just the ticket for transportation mavens and anyone interested in--or apprehensive about--flying.-- "Kirkus Reviews" (1/15/2026 12:00:00 AM)
