So only provide it to US Born Americans.


You mean like Tim McVeigh, Terry Nichols, Ted Kaczynski, Eric

None of them suicidal, I believe. They would attempt to get a bomb on board
other than by walking on with it or in any way that might give themselves
away. The point being that I think background checks in conjunction with
other security protocols re passengers and baggages would be adequate to
deter threats from that class of bombers.
