Right-Wing Insensitive Quote of the Day - May 5, 2005

Rep. John Linder (R-GA) has "stunned congressional colleagues – and New Yorkers – with complaints about air security and saying another hijack attack wouldn't be a 'catastrophe.'" At two hearings of the House Homeland Security Committee last month, Linder "blasted federal spending that focuses on 'looking for toenail clippers and box cutters.' 'It is my view that no airplane will ever hit a commercial building – which is the only value [terrorists] have in taking out large numbers of people,' he said at an April 27 hearing. He added that 'passengers won't allow that to happen. And if an airline is blown up in the air, that is a very bad circumstance for 200 or 300 people, but it is not a catastrophe,' Linder said." The New York Daily News reports that Linder "made similar remarks April 13 to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff."
