“I say to Senator Reid, this may be hard to believe, but the Bush administration issued their Executive order after September 11. I find that especially troubling in light of the incredible and even heroic performance by the Federal employees of our Nation's air traffic control system on September 11. The security of the Nation's airlines became so important that we felt the need to federalize baggage screening. But somehow, this administration still wants to privatize the air traffic control system.”
