Thousands of layoffs occurred as a result of 9/11 in the airline industry with several carriers going under. Another successful terrorist attack on a US plane would lead to more layoffs and more failures.

And to tie all this collusion between the govt and the airlines in with the quick passage of yeaterday's airline security -- I heard
Mrs. Daschle is a lobbiest for American Airlines!

Yes, that is a conflict of interest.

She makes at least a million buck a year, yet her husband says they own practically nothing. And yet not one newspaper reporter even cares to investigate the Daschle's conflicts of interest. She helped cover up her husband's involvement in protecting the owners of a small air carrier whose neglegence caused a fatal plane crash in North Dakota. The FAA under Linda Daschle "lost" all the investigators' paperwork!
