And so we try to address those concerns in every way possible, recognizing, again, in the final analysis, everybody on that flight wants to be assured with the highest level of confidence that everybody else on that flight has been properly screened, and including me and you and everybody.

With existing technology, we can enforce airport security without sacrificing our personal privacy.

You want your privacy as a human being.

There's always a sense that people will do things quite differently if they think they have privacy.

But what I want to assure and reassure the public is we are concerned about your safety, your security, and your privacy. Let's work together in partnership to ensure that we can have the best way forward.

The bottom line is, if somebody doesn't go through proper security screening, they're not going to go on the flight.

I am not sure precisely why we need to have privacy, but everyone knows for sure that we need to relax and not have to put on our social, outwardly looking face all of the time.

I'd like people to get a sense of who I am, yet I want to keep my privacy, too.

I suspect privacy is a very new concept to humanity.

We put people of concern on the watch list or the no-fly list, so we have a number of layers of security beyond the airport checkpoint. We gather as much information about a passenger as the law allows without profiling.
