“I can say that our traveling public is much safer because of the professional training that is being received by people who are flying our aircraft. They are screened psychologically, they are screened in many other ways, so that after they come out of that facility, they come out able to defend the safety of the people on their aircraft at all cost, even up to and including the use of firearms. Mr. Speaker, the terrorists should be aware of that. We have trained thousands and will continue training thousands more in my district. I would like to commend the people at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico.”
