"All four hijacked planes were bound for California," said Davis, dressed in a blue shirt, a red tie and an American-flag lapel pin. "More than 100 fellow Californians paid the ultimate price for our freedom." In memory of those who died on Sept. 11--"to build a future worthy of their sacrifice"--he announced legislation designed to terrorproof the state.
