#1 And, while he would not provide details

It would appear to me that he has already provided more than enough "detail." Gen. Victor "Gene" Renuart....? Why do I picture a man in a Kepi, reviewing a line of pilots standing in front of their Spads?

#2 Overall, this seems like a pretty pathetic level of resources for a damned important function. I'd feel a whole lot safer if half the TSA budget were put under this guy's authority and passengers could carry heat. why , so they can blow holes in the plane?

#3 Re: the comments about scanning ships; the WA-Canada Peach Arch truck crossing customs station has installed some new sensors at all the queues for cars; i did not see the truck portals but i am going to guess they also have them. i can only assume they are some sort of x-ray or explosives detectors, but there were no warnings signs visible. on one hand that makes me feel good that there is actually something positive being done, but the other wants to know about any potential concerns for those with pacemakers and the like...
