...only fly when I absolutely have to, and I don't enjoy it. I know how vulnerable our aviation system is, and what you have now is a game of catch-up. If we'd made aviation security a priority, we wouldn't be responding to things, we'd be prepared for them. But until we decide as a nation to care about homeland security and do that, we're always going to be reacting. That's not a good place...

It'd be great if more people recognized that what insurance companies do is really underwrite the great American Dream. The industry will be just fine. But much better preparedness and a much better way of dealing with these catastrophic events would go a huge way toward not just improving the image of the industry but making people feel like they are ready when these events occur...
