Connie, I read your thorough, brilliant report with the greatest sadness. Since the bombings (that's what I call them), on WCBS-TV I have heard former NYPD commissioners Ray Kelly (on whose watch the 1993 WTC bombing took place, during the administration of David Dinkins) and William Bratton (Rudy Giuliani's first commish, 1994-1996?), and socialist Sen. Chuck Schumer (D, NY) all say very similar things about "the caliber" of airport security personnel, with one of them noting that some of them don't even speak English, and another observing that some even have criminal histories.
Criminal, yes, this was criminal, all right.
Thank you for the kind words, but the kudos for "brilliance" go to my writing partner who did all of the research.
Yes, it is criminal, mrustow. Blind, arrogant and reckless greed and stupidity, uncaring of the consequences.
And these criminals should be in jail.
