FAA to do background checks on 750,000 employees
The Federal Aviation Administration plans to check the backgrounds of every employee who has access to secured areas of airports, Administrator Jane Garvey said Wednesday.
Garvey told a National Press Club luncheon that she hoped to have the checks completed within nine months. Around 750,000 employees will be checked.
It's a good thing they are taking swift action! Holy hell, don't they realize nine months is plenty of time for possible insider terrorists to strike in some fashion? Maybe they should implement the Rapid Speed Process and get through the checks before the end of the world. Gosh!

You couldn't have made these fuckers do the checks before Sept 11 for all the frequent flyer miles in China. Aye-yi-yi, we're a greedy stupid country. It was harder for me to get a $25 refund from Ikea today, than it was for those loonies to hijack 4 planes.
The founding fathers wanted individuals to have freedom, but now only the wealthy and the powerful have all the freedom. How do you like the consequences? People like you and I are merely free to keep consuming. Get back on those planes! Don't be held hostage! Get out there and purchase some crap!
err... start stockpiling the bodybags
