NEW YORK, Feb 13, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Coalition for Luggage Security says, The Philadelphia Inquirer has published an open letter from Senator Biden that outlines what the US has been doing wrong, and what needs to be done to create safer travel systems within the United States.
"Senator Biden's open letter directly puts responsibility for our security here at home on the President of the United States. Money is poured into areas other than our own homeland security, such as our travel systems. Fighting terrorism and securing our means of transportation must be a priority, and the Coalition believes everyone has to do their part, and be open minded to new ideas for our own safety," said Harvey Abelson, Coalition Director.
"The Coalition For Luggage Security has in the past, added its voice to expanding our security from airline passengers and their luggage to cargo aboard passenger aircraft. Our Coalition has also provided a way to pay for the additional security Shipping airline passenger's luggage separate from the traveler will produce taxpayer and airline savings. These savings and freed up resources can be refocused into securing other parts of our infrastructure: air cargo, trains, ports, electrical grids, first responders and help provide the communication technology needed so all government and law enforcement agencies are connected as was promised after 9/11," said Richard A. Altomare, Founder and Chairman of the Coalition for Luggage Security, and CEO of Universal Express, Inc. (OTCBB: USXP)
