You can be shoveling down somebody who represented misbehavior, who endangered a flight, and everybody, indeed, and as a matter of fact, who almost breached national security.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t simply in one week say the person is an ambassador for protocol and security at the airport. That\u2019s not done. That is the most important thing that has happened, and it is devastating to our psyche as a people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not how people in government ought to be behaving. If you want to make him an ambassador, wait down the road. It\u2019s pretty too early in the game.
