"RT: Terrorists could also expedite airport security"

Letter to the Editor
Terrorists could also expedite airport security
The Nashville Tennessean


Recent articles about paying $100 a year to expedite passage through airport security, in my opinion, is a clear indication that it’s about money — not security (“Air travelers have long wait till pre-screening is offered,” May 10).

Over time, we have uncovered terrorist cells in our communities around the country, composed of individuals that have learned how to blend in. Maybe some, but not all, will pass the litmus test and pay the $100, and the experts will be asking, “How did they get on that flight?” We can’t have our cake and eat it.

It’s a new world and we need to make adjustments and focus on how to improve security, not how to circumvent it. Pass along that idea.

Jim Cappellino, Franklin
