Tommy Thompson in CNN political race coverage


On Homeland Security: Maintain vigilance against terrorism

Q: Halloween is tomorrow night--worried about children trick-or-treating?

A: I'm always worried about children trick-or-treating but I am not more worried because of what's going on right now. All I'm asking people to do is be very careful; watch what they receive, and check it out and be vigilant with their activities.

Q: How about safety of the food system overall?

A: We have been reviewing all of the sensitive intelligence that is coming in from overseas and around the US, that we have been working tremendously long hours to get prepared. But there are always problems, and we want people to be vigilant and that is what the president wants, and that is what I want.

Q: Is there an end in sight for the anthrax mailings

A: I hope there's an end, and I hope that the FBI is able to arrest the individuals behind it. But until that happens, we have to stay vigilant. We have to make sure that we examine our mail in a very strenuous manner.
