Transport committee  I don't have the data in front of me. I can say that from my own experience as a passenger, I see the security fees on my tickets, and some of them are higher and some of them are lower.

Transport committee  I don't have the official figures to compare that.

Transport committee  I think there are two areas that still need to be improved and put on the agenda in the North American environment. One area--

Transport committee  One is the service element. Obviously, commercial security service at the airports is still perceived as being an obstacle, and this is a perception that has to be changed and analyzed. That being said, with the assumption that the regulators set the standards, they are the right

Transport committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Thanks to everybody for the questions. I hope you don't mind my blunt answers.
