HSNW: If you had to name your top three priorities on day one, week one, or month one of your chairmanship, what would these three priorities be?
King: Number one, and this is an overall view, is to examine the radicalization of the Muslim community in this country. Number two, a very specific one, very targeted, is air cargo security — that is much more difficult to secure than passenger flights. Air cargo is a threat we have to look at. And thirdly is the issue of dirty bomb attacks in urban centers. This is why I’m a strong supporter of the Securing the Cities program. These would be the top three priorities.
