It's everything you can possibly imagine people shouldn't take to the airport.
We have good men and women who are dedicated to the security of aviation and to the security of the transportation system, and I think we need to recognize that we have more good people working for us than we do bad.
TSA is interested in state-of-the-art technology and enhancing the security screening system while increasing convenience for our customers. Certainly explosives detection is something we're interested in.
A lot of times we have passengers make claims against us as well, but when we go back and look at videotape, we see that another passenger took it from them at the security checkpoint and it had nothing to do with our screeners.
Honolulu has rather small numbers when you consider millions of passengers leave or come into Honolulu every year. One is certainly too many, but if we're going to have a number, I'd rather have it be a low number than something that's monumental.
Why someone would leave $4,000 in their checked luggage is beyond me. Why don't they just take the $4,000 and leave it on the seat at Aloha Stadium during a football game and let somebody pick it up? Because that's essentially what they did.
As far as I can tell, things are status quo. There's nothing out of the ordinary.
We will research and investigate each claim fully and take steps when necessary because we expect our screeners to live up to a higher standard than anyone else.
It is a continual progression. We need to stay one step ahead.
We don't want our screeners to be acting inappropriately, because we are in a position of public trust and if we violate that trust, then we're not doing our job.
