In this Aug. 28, 2010 photo, pilot Martha King steps out of a Cessna with her hands raised on the orders of police in Santa Barbara, Calif., as the plane was flagged as stolen by an aviation security computer system but the plane was actually owned by the pilots, two of the most famous aviation figures in the United States, John and Martha King. The Federal Aviation Administration's aircraft registry is missing key information on who owns about a third of the private and commercial planes in the U.S., a gap the agency fears could be exploited by terrorists and drug traffickers.

In this photo taken June 16, 2010, John Kausner of Clarence Center, N.Y., left, who's 24-year-old daughter Ellyce died in the crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407 in Feb. 2009, talks to Jeffrey Smisek, right, Continental Airlines President and CEO, to request his support for new airline safety provisions outside a congressional committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington. Congress is on the verge of passing far-reaching airline safety legislation, and a lot of the credit goes to the families and friends of the 50 people died in the Flight 3407 crash more than a year ago.
