Loretta sanchez and she says on the Homeland Security committee. Let me tell you something about the bay area in california. We have never been spared. She says that terrorists have been aiming at the bay area since 9 11. We have had just really good intelligence and people working every day to keep us safe. The congresswoman declined to give us specifics about terror plots. We are doing our job right. You havent seen attacks here in california. Do you think it through inwhat is the biggest stuf...

Workers three years ago because attack. A worker with access to the airport who then becomes radicalized. I think the threat from an insider is a more significant threat right now that we face, particularly an insider with the capability to put an explosive device on the aircraft.

Should get an answer when you say we have to tell parents that they have to Pay Attention to that, thats great, however, i want to know how were going to tell parents. Do we have a plan .

So i want to clarify the word pilot test. What the state is doing is theyre pretest...

Thats what and who he is. Take it from someone who has known him most of my adult life. Thats who hes always been. If any...

We have to hear and accept this and act on it because you and i, we are the key. You have to take care of yourself, and by doing that, i think you because it helps protect me and my family.
