SCHUMER: NEW GAPING HOLE IN AIR SECURITY DISCOVERED – SCREENING OF US-BOUND PLANES AT FOREIGN AIRPORTS DANGEROUSLY INEFFECTIVE

Man detained this week after coming off flight from Dubai to JFK with undetected live Soviet munitions including surface-to-air missile components in carry-on – shows inadequacy of inspectors at foreign airports

New Schumer study reveals almost 100 flights a day land at JFK and Newark from just 10 countries known to harbor terrorists

TSA has only 20 overseas reps worldwide to check screening outside US – Schumer proposes ten-fold increase to to help ensure greater safety

And, for those who don't know, Dubai Ports World, Owned and Operated by Dubai, is responsible for screening cargo bound for the U.S. Are we really going to trust these people with our NATIONAL SECURITY?
