the everybody is always thinking forward as to whether or not there s additional suspects. as we stand here now, there s only one individual responsible for this as we know as the active as that active shooter in our terminal. i want to follow up a little bit on what the mayor said regarding the officers that went in after this individual. this individual was shooting as he went into the into the terminal. the officers didn t i repeat, they didn t hesitate. they went after this individual and they confronted this individual in our airport. and unfortunately, it involved an officer-involved shooting but that s what needed to be done and that was heroic. we practiced to this not more than three weeks ago. we took everyone of our officers parks trol officers and couple hundred officers from the los angeles police department and we practiced the exact scenario
tsa agents. americans wants their liberty to be on the move about. we want security. that is the balance in the post 9/11 world. is it your belief that no matter how much we have done, in terms of eyes in the sky and officers all over the place, if someone is intent on doing something, there are areas of this country that are that cannot be secure that we cannot keep 100% safe? secure everywhere, particularly in the democracy. this individual could have just as easily driven down the roadway at los angeles airport at that time in the morning and there would have been normally hundreds of people at the southwest terminal, hundreds lined up on the sidewalks outside the terminal. he could have easily with that weapon drove down the roadway, public roadway and open fire without exposing himself going into a terminal. we live in a democracy and we consciously and purposely live in a society that seeks to

are driving cars into the air side, that nobody should do, be there? we say we have security. where is the port authority that they have to run around the airport to prevent this kind of tragedy? where are the security special forces that the tsa hired and receive millions of dollars and they train the people to make sure that they would arrest anyone who was suspicious? we don t have security. we leave with the illusion that we have security. we have to stop what would you have american airports do differently that somebody should not be able to enter the building at all until they ve been checked? no, no, this is not a jail. the people are coming to the airport. they should not suffer. we can train people to be able to identify suspicious people that are coming to the terminal
