The Bard: Spokane Airport Security

A passenger goes through security screening at Spokane International Airport Tuesday morning, Oct. 1, 2002. Federal airport security screeners were on the job for the first time, and twice as many screeners as normal were working to fulfill training required for the job. (Holly Pickett/SR file photo)

We're trained and armed and we don't scare,
So terrorists had best beware.
You mess with us, you have no prayer -
Unless we're playing solitaire.''
