Despite `real threat' of terrorism, Bush confident in airline security

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - President Bush said Wednesday that Americans face a "real threat" of more terrorist attacks this summer, but he expressed confidence that new security measures would thwart any new airplane hijackers.

He offered the assessment at a wide-ranging White House news conference four days after the federal government warned airlines to tighten their guard against terrorist hijackings. The Department of Homeland Security told aviation-security specialists that al- Qaida terrorists might be planning missions similar to the Sept. 11 attacks.

"The threat is a real threat. … We don't know when, where, what," Bush said. "I am confident we will thwart the attempts."
