Jon Tester actually said...
Do the airlines understand that after 9/11, there was nobody flying? Do they understand that if we have an issue like this, it will have incredible--and nobody wants to see it--incredible economic impacts not only on airlines but across States like Montana that depend on $4 billion from that?
Context
Tester questions airlines' awareness of economic impacts from security issues post-9/11.
