Bouncer-

I'm with you-hold them accountable.

Start with Norm Mineta, current Secretary of Transportation. Twenty-One years on the House Transportation Committee, 94-00 as Chairman. Get him out. Tomorrow.

Then go to the committees on Intelligence, National Security and Terrorism. Debrief these guys, log it in, then change them all. Will it help? I hope so but we can't do worse than 9/11.

And this is not political-I don't care if they are left wing, right wing or turkey wing. If management of my company failed me this badly, they'd be gone by lunch. Our country deserves the same. And that's the real way to pay homage to the widows and orphans.

Within that, I think it's shortsighted to say that since a system is not 100% safe, we shouldn't do what we can, even if our encounter at the airport today seems more form over substance. They need to change to both the people and the procedures, and I don't think complaining while they do gets us any closer to our common goal.
