I mean here's my thing. Peter King's right. He could have had a vest on. You're absolutely right. Motives of these people are always in question. I just always get more concerned, kind of -- this is just my civil libertarian streak inside me -- that we're now going to have zones and zones of more screening and more checking.

ANDREA TANTAROS: Well, I think you bring up a great point about it being a lesson learned.
