“The safety of the traveling public is our top priority,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. “This review will help us look at the root causes and do everything we can to safeguard against similar events in the future.”

Says in wiki that Mr. Lahood is a Republican politician from Illinois.
Majored in education and sociology.

So we are extremely humbled and comforted that a politician appointee places safety ahead of whatever is in second place.....

Better to keep quiet and be thought a fool..... I await the day a politician actually Defers to those with expertise. Like Mike Sinnett, or any engineer from Boeing....

There are many things that need to be changed in the new connected world, perhaps a new effort at discretion in public discourse.
