David is being too kind, "racial profiling" maybe, but I'd bet the $250,000 the airlines gave to Democrats about this time was the real reason Dollar Bill rejected the additional airport security.

If my memory serves correctly, the money did come in shortly after the plan was rejected in 1996. Besides "profiling", the plan was apparently expensive to airlines. I believe it was Linda Dashole (Tiny Tom's wife) who lobbied on behalf of the airlines.

A woman who lost someone on Pan Am 103 was part of the panel and filed a dissenting opinion (she wanted the increased security) but her report never made it into the final report.
