#1 Five out of six thousand is a pretty teensy percentage. Good or bad? You be the judge.

#2 Precisely. Five pilots... big deal.

#3 As far as Im concerned, unless they are former pilots in the Air Force/Navy/Marines or Coast Guard, they are suspect. Not citizens of the US? even more so, foreign national? line forms to the right buddy.

#4 Guess I missed the boat on this one. I saw this as classic Bureaucratic buffoonery. Ms Hutchison appears to be trying to convince us that we are safe from a semi trailer blowing up in the Holland Tunnel because the DMV says that 99% of all truckers with valid US liscences are known not to be Jihadis.

I am not interested in the slightest what the security picture looks like from her office in Washington. I want to know:

1. What percentage of planes that land in the US or pass through US air space are approved foriegn pilots?
2. How is the pilot's actual identity checked when they land?
3. How the identity of the pilot is currently being validated as the plane enters US airspace in flight?

This program looks like window dressing to me.
