Byron Dorgan actually said...

The technology has marched ahead but the Air Traffic Control System has not.

We cannot afford to lose one airplane, one passenger, one pilot without looking at how we can do it better.

I don't ever, in a hearing want to suggest to the American people that when they get on an airplane they are in any way unsafe.

Of course, it's legal by the current FARs. It's not safe and we need to change it.
