That is kind of hard to figure out. It is hard to imagine that the President would use a veto to veto legislation that is all about making our country safer. all of the provisions that this bill will contain. that will go directly to the heart of the matter of the safety of our Nation. that will do what the 9/11 Commission wanted. It is hard to imagine. because the President does not like unions. that he would threaten to veto this bill just because we want to give the same basic worker protections to the screeners at airports that the Border Patrol. the Capitol Police. and immigration officials currently have. I cannot imagine that the President would veto under those circumstances. I cant imagine that the American public would think that is a good use of a veto pen. I cant imagine that some of our colleagues who think that unions are the enemy would use the collective bargaining rightsthat are so limited in scope in this amendmentas an excuse to stop this concerted effort that we are all making to do what we must do to improve homeland security. If we continue to treat our TSA officers different from their colleagues in the Border Patrol and their colleagues in homeland security. we will never have the seasoned and professional and experienced staff in place as part of our important effort to protect the Nations transportation system and the people who live and work and care about the United States of America.
