“We put people of concern on the watch list or the no-fly list, so we have a number of layers of security beyond the airport checkpoint. We gather as much information about a passenger as the law allows without profiling.”

“I want to take TSA to the next level.”

“We save limited resources in terms of who we are physically screening. The approach will allow us to pay more attention to those potential terrorists.”

“We want to be sensitive to people's concerns about privacy about their personal being and things, while ensuring that everybody on every flight has been properly screened.”

“The bottom line is how do we best provide for the security of the traveling public in light of a determined enemy who is adept at constructing well-designed, well-concealed devices which would not show up in a walk-through metal detector? We're trying to employ the best technology to identify any possible threat.”

“The bottom line is, if somebody doesn't go through proper security screening, they're not going to go on the flight.”

“The combination of funding for our ports, airports, and highways is a really significant investment in our infrastructure.”

“When I started the business, only banks operated at airports, only banks issued travellers' cheques, only banks issued international payments, only banks serviced their own branch networks.”

“I have dictated stories from an airport after writing the story out in longhand on the plane that I got from phone interviews and then was applauded by editors for 'working magic.'”

“Our roads, bridges, airports, railways, and river ports are our outlets to expand Missouri business, generate future growth, and expand to new emerging markets across the globe.”

“It's funny, but as time goes by, I get stopped in airports all the time, and it's always about 'Shannon's Deal.'”

“I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.”
