You had, according to reports, a suicide bomber today. Those same types are amongst the evacuees. They are now at military bases iCONUS/OCONUS. Must be high alert conditions now.
Absolutely can not have a plane go down over CONUS that was carrying Afghans. US populace would refuse to have those Afghans near them. Another battle that Bidan would lose without resorting to a big stick.
Has to be really expensive and time consuming to check for explosives. No private carriers or charters would have that capability, IMO.
They said Erik Prince wanted $6500K for a seat out on his charter. It that's true, it might be he has the security equipment and that's part of the ticket price. I figure, in his line of work, he has the latest, expensive tech.
