Dear Readers,
Yesterday, in the Poughkeepsie Journal, columnist Mark Musso praised heightened airport and rail security screening, calling it “a necessity, regardless of how we feel about it.” He also said “The slight inconvenience is a small price to pay to know that we are safer for the effort.” You can read his commentary at the following link:

This morning I emailed Mr. Musso to introduce him to the Armed Passengers Project. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an immediate response from him saying that while he had some initial hesitation about the concept, he would review the website, keep an open mind and consider featuring the issue in a future column as “food for thought”.
Let’s hope we can find more journalists willing to have an open mind.
As always, your support of the Armed Passengers Project is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Michael L. Bane
