Once again, it boils down to managing our immigration and naturalization processes. Even a second grader could tell you that he doesn't want a bully in his own class. Why can't our government extrapolate that same premise to the community level?
What kind of info do you think they had? If Big Brother is going to further invade my privacy at airports, I'll fly less. Like I told Dollar Rental Car to pi$$ off when they wanted my right thumbprint in Las Vegas the other weekend.
All airplanes would have extra security if they'd just allow people who can demostrate clean records and proper training to go armed.
