The one vulnerability is this period of time when you have to leave for essential purposes, even passing meals or access the bathroom on the aircraft. Even if its for a very short period of time, and we take steps to make sure its for the shortest period possible, that period is when were most vulnerable. The installing of a very costeffective barrier, were talking 5,000 to 12,000 per aircraft once installed, its forever, no operating cost of it you can almost completely if not completely eliminate that risky period of time.

We just need the funding to implement it going forward. Okay. Im going to skip mr. Baker because my questions were about rock fish and striped bass. And i think you mentioned that on the one hand, you know rock fish are back. But on the other hand whats happening in terms of Climate Change could severely impact them. Did you want to add to that . One of the being concerns is a wasting disease. There is no real absolute knowledge as to what causes it. But we know that when fish are stressed, theyre more prone to disease.

Because the noaa recently released the state of the climate in a 2014 report that represents data from scientists around the globe and i know you stressed you gave us a lot of information about annapolis and maryland.
