" I guess you are in the "public" sector."

You guess quite incorrectly. But then again many have. I do not have to make wild suppositions on what is happening. In case you were not aware, as many have forgotten, up to 9-10-01, one more time slowly for the tinfoil impaired,.... the airlines (that's the companies that own those big planes that haul people all over the world) were RESPONSIBLE (that means they, the corporation, officers and management) for the hiring, vetting and training (get a dictiionary now please) of ALL airport security employees. NOT THE FAA, NOT THE FBI, NOT BARNEY FIFE OR ANDY. What in the God **** hell is so hard to comprehend about that people?????????

Jesus H. Christ, this is like talking to a liberal.

I for one, feel your inclusion of the name of the Lord God Almighty within such a nasty post, is not only irreverant, but inappropriate, and not appreciated.

You just can't get the point. Yes, the airlines are responsible for security - enforcing security regulations that the FAA puts forth. They did not violate FAA directives. But what is the excuse for the airlines having to detect terrorists on our domestic flights? Terrorists with expired visas? The government is responsible for keeping these people out. A couple of them were even under watch when they boarded the Dulles flight. And don't think for a minute profiling would have worked. The airlines are receiving grief for that post 9-11.
