On the recordNovember 15, 2001
if we want to revitalize the airline industry, we have to get people back on the planes. It is clear that people do not feel safe flying. Airlines are losing money, and the number of passengers is way down. Yet, here we are, more than 2 months after the events of September 11 without an agreement on airline security. To prevent future attacks and to restore the public's confidence in flying, we must take steps. We cannot just hope that the same security companies that have committed gross violations of current law will do a better job in the future. We have Federal oversight of private, for-profit companies right now; and the current system is not working. This is a very real problem, and it deserves a real solution. Mr. Speaker, Congress should stay in session and pass an aviation security bill that protects the flying public.
