***He could've vetoed the airport security bill. He chose not to. Hence why we're stuck with barney fife security guards at our airports and why he isn't getting my vote in 04 for one of many reasons.***

Bush COULDN'T veto this bill because if he had, there would have been NO BILL, which in turn would have held back security. (And I suspect you know that.)

Yes, of course. Only federal screeners can perform their job properly. A surprising assertion, given the fact that the government can't even find enough qualified people (even at their standards) for the job. I would remind you that boxcutters were allowed on aircraft as of 9/11 - this was not a failing of airport security folks.
