Mike, everybody wants to know, and theyre all being cautious. What happened . So charlie, im being cautious too. I have not seen a single piece of data, single piece of evidence that would take us to a conclusion that terrorists brought down this aircraft. Thats certainly possible, but its also possible that it was some other factor like mechanical failure. Well just have to wait and see. But what if it was terrorism . What might it have been . So i think theres two possibilities, right . One is a bomb either placed on the aircraft somewhere in north africa where the plane had been earlier in the day, or a bomb placed on the plane in paris. Or it could have been an individual on the plane, even a pilot or copilot, who became radicalized and brought the plane down. I think those are the two terrorist possibilities. If it was a bomb that was placed on the plane in paris, what does that say about security in paris and concern about the threat of terrorism . That would be a very significant development. We know that isis has developed a significant, sophisticated Operational Capability in western europe, but this would punctuate that in a way that we have not seen before. And if in fact this is a new tactic, what does that say about terrorism in europe . It says that they can now bring it to the United States in a very significant way, right .

Theres a reason we do what we do. Okay . Why do you got to take your shoes off . Because weve had instances of the shoe bomber, okay . Liquids, the liquid restriction, is based in reallife incidents. So as things happen in the world and as threats evolve, the organization kind of has to evolve with it. Reporter following the metrojet bombings and the isis attacks in paris and brussels, the tsa has increased screenings of airport workers, checked luggage and cargo in addition to extra scrutiny of passengers and their carryons. In chicago today fbi director james comey. The lines are an enormous pain, but please know the lines reflect a commitment in this country to make air travel safe.
