More Sky Marshalls, less pie in the sky
" cybersecurity to a level that can coordinate with senior Department of Homeland Security personnel"

The CIA gave Bush a memo, a warning of an attack, the who, what, where and when: Bin Laden, Aircraft Hijacking, Inside USA, SOON! US Intelligence service got 4 out of 4 correct, damn good work.

If there had been sky marshalls on internal flights the hijackers with scissors would be corpses with toe tags. But there weren't, they had been moved to international flights to save money.

Surprisingly a more secure firewall for the FTAs internet connection probably wouldn't have helped prevent 911.

The best thing the Dems can do is kick out this idiot, not patronise the tech industry with promises of more food in the trough.
