NAFTA recognizes the reality of today's economy - globalization and technology. Our future is not in competing at the low-level wage job it is in creating high-wage new technology jobs based on our skills and our productivity.

I love technology. We can be our own DJs wherever we go.

I've been really excited about some new cutting edge electronic music and technology.

Because I do think - not just in building AOL - but just the world in which we live is a very confusing rapidly changing world where technology has accelerated.

Now a lot of what we are doing right now quite frankly is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning for example the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).

What we're doing is making sure that we have a safe and secure border region from San Diego all the way to Brownsville. And that means manpower it means technology it means infrastructure it means interior enforcement. All you know kind of layered in appropriate ways and making sure like I said before the border is safe and secure.

But my view is that you need a system at the border. You need some fencing but you need technology. You need boots on the ground. And then you need to have interior enforcement of our nation's immigration laws inside the country. And that means dealing with the employers who still consistently hire illegal labor.

All images generated by imaging technology are viewed in a walled-off location not visible to the public. The officer assisting the passenger never sees the image and the officer viewing the image never interacts with the passenger. The imaging technology that we use cannot store export print or transmit images.

As part of our layered approach we have expedited the deployment of new Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) units to help detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats on passengers. These machines are now in use at airports nationwide and the vast majority of travelers say they prefer this technology to alternative screening measures.

It would be unwise to say the least irresponsible of us at the TSA at the Homeland Security Department not to evolve our technology to match the changing threat environment that we inhabit.
