In congress and inside the sec with lots of numbers and data and my hunch is that now the problem is expose. And it can do what we need to do. And we do have one new regulation.

Riding along fiberoptic cable laid from chicago to new jersey to cut off two milliseconds, cost 300 million. No one who was around knew what its purpose was.

I look forward to a bright discussion regarding security today and in the future. I firmly believe that we should not adjourn without at least continuing to address this issue. I want to thank the chief for his perspective on this. He gave me a new insight about predictability and the fact that if it is known that there is an officer of the checkpoint they become easy targets. I appreciate that. I want to thank mr. Cox. You gave us another way to look at this. You talked about how this possibly could be done, and that is why it is so important to continue the discussion because i think we can be creative and we can try things. I think there is no reason why we cannot take several ideas, try them out, see what works best, but i do not want to give up on this discussion. Thank you for allowing me to be here

But what i do not wish to do is to simply have the issue put to rest. At this time. Because i am concerned that there may be a better mouse trap, im not sure.

R to two administrator in which i recommended that Law Enforcement withins be stationed 300 feet of t. S. A. Passenger screening checkpoints.
