We save limited resources in terms of who we are physically screening. The approach will allow us to pay more attention to those potential terrorists.

I did not want to provide a blueprint or roadmap for the terrorists, saying 'Here are our new security procedures'.

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.

I want to take TSA to the next level.

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.

I particularly recognize that reasonable people can disagree as to what that proper balance or blend is between privacy and security and safety.
