Most travelers who are going to be out and about over the next few days and week will probably not see a significant change in the Security Posture at airports nationwide. Some select airports, jfk in new york and miami, they put their Tactical Police units on a higher profile on a higher footing, if you will. They are really not changing their Security Status either. This is not showing a deterrent but also help reassure the public. The tsa says for most airports that they are running across the country they are running checkpoints across the country no significant change to the status of security operations. That said, were looking at Something Like 7 Million People flying over the course of the next week and if theres one thing that concerns many security analysts, its this. Here at Reagan International airport they have steel pylons here, pillars if you will, that are supposed to block the ence that somebody in a large truck with explosives couldnt just ram or drive right into the airport. That said, he or she could park it right there and right above the roof is the control tower and its also a situation where you dont have any Police Presence right here. You can have people rush the airport with ak47s or whatever the weapon might be. Thats not unlike any other airport in the country. This is pretty standard. So the concern among many security analysts is that many airports simply arent hardened enough. Well talk about that in the next half hour. Guys, back to you. Tom, thank you very much.
