the prospect of tsa intimate pat-downs at the airport. charlie lee oka is with the consumer travel alliance. i want to be clear. in many cases, charlie, private security is already working at the airport and it really wouldn't be that much different than what the tsa is doing, correct? >> you're right. because they have to follow exactly the same rules that the tsa follows themselves. so the big difference would be that the private inspectors or the private security officers wouldn't come under the federal payroll. so even though the federal government might be -- and the local governments might end up paying them, they're not going to be on let's say the long-term retirement plans and so on that the current tsa officers face. so a lot of the representatives look at this as a way to save money. >> so if they're saving money -- and i just mention again charlie is on skype so we sometimes get bugs in the audio -- are you with with the travel alliance, are you feeling comfortable -- apparently we've just lost charlie. you know, the big question that peo
