I have seen the science I worshiped and the aircraft I loved destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.

The reason we are doing these types of pat downs and using the advanced imagery technology is trying to take the latest intelligence and how we know al Qaeda and affiliates want to hurt us they want to bring down whether it is passenger air craft or cargo aircraft.

The great defense against the air menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.

These subsidies from four European governments which include aircraft launch assistance capital injections debt forgiveness have enabled Airbus to develop and range market airliners well below cost.

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.
