        Airline executives including the CEOs of American, United, Southwest and JetBlue have been making last-ditch attempts in Washington to persuade lawmakers and Trump officials to provide additional aid as the job cuts loom as early as this week. The proposal has won bipartisan support and could be included in the next national coronavirus aid package.

    Want to lose the maximum amount of money in a minimum amount of time? Invest in an airline. There was no bailout money for Pan Am or Eastern.  I'm surprised Trump is even willing to listen. DJT ended up buying Eastern Airlines at a fire sale price, but Eastern was such a money loser that within one year it nearly bankrupted DJT.

    What speaks volumes to me, is that the Israelis, who have Flight Security down to a Science, have looked at our "System," and are laughing their rear ends off, about our Do not Profile, and letting those in Bhurkas go right on through, while patting down Grandmothers and little kids, etc. It is a Joke.

    We WILL get hit again, if the same BS is allowed to stand and "Protect Us."

    Yes, us55840 - TSA = "Thousands Standing Around." Unfortunately We are going to find that out (Again,) the hard way.

    The whole Israeli Flight Security System works, BECAUSE it is directly tied to PROFILING. Passengers sit down in a one one one interview, interviewers looking for nervousness, sweating, inconsistent stories, etc. (And) They concentrate on those they have PROFILED, for a reason. Duh.........................

    It's not Rocket Surgery here people.
