Let me now turn to the new security agency itself, which is the second part of our comments. We're concerned that the government agency will control passenger movement in the very middle of the facilitation of people on and off of airplanes. This is absolutely critical to the quality of service we give to our passengers. We all know that government agencies have difficulty responding to rapid changes in business marketplaces--the lessons have been vividly illustrated in our aviation industry since deregulation. Whether the shortages were aviation inspectors, air traffic controllers, customs personnel, or just not enough money to upgrade airports, we've all been there in the last 10 to 15 years, and I believe that the country has seen some innovative solutions.
