White House threatens to veto 9/11 bill By Thomas Ferraro Wed Feb 28, 3:48 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate began debating legislation to bolster America's security on Wednesday with the White House threatening a veto because one part would extend union protection to 45,000 airport workers.

President George W. Bush's administration charged that the Democratic-backed provision to provide workers limited collective bargaining rights would curb needed flexibility at the U.S. Transportation Security Administration and diminish traveler safety.

Keep in mind that Bush has only vetoed one bill so far in his presidency. If you work for a living and you voted for George W. Bush ever, you are, not to put too fine a point on it, a fucking idiot.
