Update On US Air Transport Safety

Carrie has a report on security upgrades at our nation's air terminals.

We can all sleep better now!



Flying will be safer now;
the federal government is in charge.

150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator - Alan Pinkerton - for protection. That was the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time, the federal government has produced a large number of multi-letter agencies such as:

FBI,
CIA,
INS,
IRS,
DEA,
BATF, etc.

Now we have the "Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service".
Can't you see them now, these 'highly trained' men and women in their black outfits with jackets saying across the backs:

'F.A.T.A.S.S.'

The FATASS's are of course supervised by a special section of the Home Land Security Section known as: Airport Security Service Home Office Logistics Enhancement Section or the

'A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S.'

I feel safer already.
