Well, the Air Force may be too busy to defend the nation's airports right now, but considering our defense establishment has been configured for decades to fight two major wars, your argument rings a bit hollow.

I've already addressed the manpower issue in a previous post, so I'll just note in passing that in time of national crisis we have to expect that we may need more personnel manning the front lines.

I'm well aware of the scope of the airport security problem - these problems are far from being confined to passengers.
