It is my intention, the gentleman from Connecticut's (Mr. Shays) intention, that once we close the loophole on passenger planes that allow for cargo to go on unscreened, then we will move on to the next step, which is the cargo that goes on cargo planes. But I think the first job is to make sure that passengers are protected and then in the next step, as the gentleman said, we will move on to do the same for cargo planes.
Discussing the need for security measures for cargo on passenger and cargo planes.
