On the recordOctober 11, 2001
I think what we are dealing with here is a matter of honesty, honesty with the American people. I just heard the President in a press conference a few minutes ago urge the American people to go back to normal lives. And I want the American people to go back to normal living as well, but we also need to be honest. And we need to say to the flying public, when you get on a plane and the bags that are on that plane have not been screened for explosives, that plane is in danger. The people who travel and who fly need to know that information. This argument about the training of those who do the inspection, I would like to share an incident that I had at Dulles airport last Saturday morning that I think my colleagues may find surprising.
