"Hello, I am a professional airline pilot who knows first hand how critical it is to strengthen our nation's aviation security.
The Boxer Cockpit Security Amendment will help to implement increased security in the wake of the 9-11 Commission Report by protecting the vast majority of airline flights at a negligible cost to the American taxpayer.
According to news reports, less than 5% of all flights are protected by Federal Air Marshals. We need more armed pilots and more air marshals, and increased flight attendant training to keep our skies safe.
Please vote yes on the Boxer Amendment - increased cockpit security will provide pilots a last line of defense against aviation terrorism."
