mr. babb and michael roberts, the pilot, you both spoken out very strongly come the whole panel has about the invasive pat downs and the scanners, and you're saying we should basically turn this over to free enterprise i believe. i know some people are saying that. but can you give us some hard and fast examples of what you would do to fix it, what you do to change a? because we haven't really heard that yet. >> sure. airlines invest billions of dollars in their hardware. they have incredibly valuable employees that require a huge amount of training. they have their entire customer base to protect. do you think stockholders will have an interest in keeping these assets secured? of course they have an extreme motive to protect these incredible assets. the motive for politicians are very different. that's what we have right now. politicians need to look like they're doing something. that's why we end up with security theater. that's why we end up with a centralized bureaucracy. we get 67,000 tax theaters participating in a make work program and that becoming a assault. so the point is trust

michael joins us to preview his book. mr. shoyer, one of the things you write in your book is something i would like you to expand on. bin laden is not the caricature that we made of him. indeed, if i only had ten qualities to the memory of the drafting of the biographical sketch, they would be pious, brief, generous, intelligent, charismatic, patient, visionary, stubborn, egalitarian and most of all, realistic. >> yes, sir, i think that he is very much an enemy who we need to respect because of his capability. much like the allies felt about ronald during world war ii. the new the need to tell him that they had to be respectful of his ability to fight them and i'm afraid what we have gotten from some authors had most politicians is a character of bin laden as either a criminal or fug of the list madman and i don't think that it's true and in that it returns our ability to understand the enemy we face. >> what is the danger of that character in your view? >> the danger is we'll underestimate the capabilities of the man. bin l

is that biography on osama bin laden and michael scheuer joins us to preview his book. mr.scheuer one of the things you write in your book is something i would like you to expand on. bin laden is not the caricature that we made of him. indeed, if i only had 10 qualities to enumerate in drafting a thumbnail biographical sketch of him, they would be pious, brave, generous, intelligent, charismatic, patient, visionary, stubborn, egalitarian and most of all, realistic. >> yes sir, i think it's very much an enemy who we need to respect because of his capabilities. much like the allies felt during world war ii. they know they needed to kill him but they needed to be respectful of his ability to fight them. and i'm afraid what we have gotten from some authors and most politicians is a caricature of bin laden as either a criminal or a thug or somehow annihilist or a madman, and i don't think that is true, and i think it retards their ability to understand the enemy we face. >> what is the danger of that character in your view? >> well, the danger is we underestimate capabilities of
