possession the whole tile, feel-good security measures. they weren t doing anything. a terrorist isn t going to tell the truth when they check in at an airport. the fact we re screening checked bags as we started to do after the attacks of 9/11 has made it incredibly safer from the standpoint of flying. we re using full body imaging scaners, something that upgraded security measures as well. what we used for decades was designed for metal. if someone had powder or liquid explosives strapped to their bodies, there was no way to pick it up. the full body imaging scaners that we re using at airports across the country can detect these explosives under the clothes of someone that s traveling. therefore, it is, again, much safer. we still have a lot to do but it s considerably safer to fly today than prior to the attacks of 9/11. eric: we had the cockpit doors as you know are totally reinforced. i think if anything happened after flight 93, passengers are
shut downs as a way to negotiate anything. let alone something that has nothing to do with these federal workers. test not like this is an argument about how much they should get paid, it is about something completely unrelated. and the part that kills me is you re talking about border patr patrol agents, coast guard, law enforcement officers, first responders, they keep us safe, air traffic controllers and tsa agents, they make sure that a plane doesn t crash and a terrorist isn t able to attack us. and we re not paying them? they won t keep showing up to work. we have to make sure the message is getting across that this is not just individual people s lives, it s about the safety of our country and making sure this is not the way that any sane government should operate. katie hill, thank you for joining us. it is a busy day for 2020 news and we re hearing a lot
sufficient measures are in place and some of them may be tough. we re talking about this visa program among others. so they can be assure that had a terrorist isn t coming in to this country. i think it s entirely appropriate at this time. and again, i want to emphasize what lindsey said. we re looking so hard and everybody s fired up about the refugees. why don t we address the problem that caused the refugees? you know, it s easy to stand up there and say we re going to stop the refugees. it s harder to do what lindsey graham and i are saying and that s do what s necessary to stop it. i think there s a bit of theatrics going on here in all due respect. if i could just suggest, jake, how about this idea, make sure they don t have to leave their country to begin with because they don t want to leave. but they re being raped and murdered in large numbers by assad and isil and other terrorist groups. so this idea of keeping assad in power or anybody who believes that s a good idea, one
military attack. those are the only two things it could be. a terrorist isn t necessarily all one thing. a terrorist uses the attacks as a vehicle, and we all know that now, therefore it is pretty clear the minute mortars show up the minute rpg s show up you have a terrorist attack. why was the president a week later talking about the video especially when it turns out, and they knew in real time it was never a protest to begin with? these things can be assessed into oblivion, too. i go by prior incidents. give me a good assessment of whether there is a high likelihood so the assessment can be confident. that assessment could be made early on with confidence. having said that again i have not seen these hundreds of
those are the only two things it could be. what is a terrorist? a terrorist isn t necessarily all one thing. a terrorist uses the attack as a vehicle. we all know that now. therefore, it s pretty clear the minute mortars show up, the minute rpgs show up, you have a terrorist attack. chris: so why was the president a week later talking about the video? especially when it turns out and they knew in real-time it was never protest to begin with? these things can be assessed into oblivion, too. i go by prior incidents. prior incidents give me a good assessment of whether there is a high likelihood so the i think that assessment could have been made earlier on with confidence. having said that, i have not seen the hundreds of threat warnings. i want to go through them and
