AIRLINE / BAHADIR: It serves this country right. They get what they pay for. This was the case, even pre-9/11. What we need is the type of security found at Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv and the individual security for each carrier found at El Al. This has been a standard complaint for many years, even since the days of the Achille Lauro incident and TWA highjacking. Nothing will change until then. Workers getting less than $8.00 per hour aren't always as enthused as those that get paid more. Low wages also attract some lousy people (U.S. and foreign) Lot's of talk, but in the long run, most things stay the same.
