Considering the attack on a smaller airport today in Glasgow, I am a loss to understand why Tony Snow would make such a careless statement in response to the situation.
President Bush's spokesman, Tony Snow, said some airports in the United States would tighten security in response to the events in Britain but the terror alert status would not change.
"The most you're going to see right now is some inconvenience — some increased inconvenience of airline passengers, more likely at large airports than small," Snow said.
Didn't some of the 9/11 attackers start their day at a small airport in Maine? There was no reason to provide such information in response to Glasgow and I believe Snow has created a very dangerous situation for Americans with his poorly worded response today. Even his dismissive "increased inconvenience" remark shows just how the White House lacks seriousness about fighting terror and protecting Americans.
