Why blame clinton/gore for failing to intervene in what has been made the airline's business? Why no blame for the airlines (which ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AIRPORT SECURITY) and are the ones farming out the work to the lowest, most incompetent bidder?
The Clinton administration took it upon itself, amongst great fanfare and in the wake of TWA 800, to convene this commission to study security lapses in airline procedures. They identified some valid security voids that should have been corrected. Then, as is the Clinton administration MO, they lied, took bribes, intimidated witnesses (commissioners) and bullied their way into more campaign contributions. The scale tilts toward them in this particular culpability, IMHO. It appears that the establishment of this commission was a public fraud and a means for extortion of more campaign contributions for the DNC from the airlines.
Not that I don't hold the airlines accountable in this matter. I do believe this piece reflected their collusion, as well.
