 Online NewsHour: Newsmaker: James Loy -- Dec. 31, 2002
James Loy, the new director of the Transportation Security Administration, discusses the new federal measures requiring airports to screen all baggage for explosives beginning in 2003.
ADMIRAL JAMES LOY: First of all, the Congress stipulated some certain requirements: American citizenship, high school equivalency, the ability to do physical things associated with the baggage screening and what have you; there was a language qualification, there was a profile associated with the specific requirements that were ladled to us by the Congress.
ADMIRAL JAMES LOY: There's no doubt in mind that somewhere in those Afghan caves or wherever they are hiding there is a gaming process going on in the minds of the terrorists to figure out precisely what we are doing and what is their way around it.

 Loy Says Some Air Security Rules "Stupid"
BEFORE LOY took over as TSA chief two months ago, none of those commonsense ideas were allowed at the nation’s 429 airports.
It’s an example of the sort of funny-but-smart policies that Loy made his trademark during a 38-year career with the Coast Guard — and have endeared him to Capitol Hill and transportation industry officials alike.
Loy’s management style could not be more different, observers say, from that of his predecessor, James Magaw, who resigned in July amid sharp criticism.

 CNN.com - James Loy: Changes to airport security rules - August 23, 2002
LOY: Bill, I think that rule is under review because we're just concerned as to whether or not it contributes to security or whether fundamentally it contributes to just a queuing of the line there, let alone the hassle for the passengers.
LOY: Frankly, the evidence is that over the years that we've asked those questions -- and, interestingly, originally there were six questions asked when it was open, when it was started -- we've just found no contribution to security as a result of asking those questions.
LOY: Well, there's a variety of different things that can be dissolved in liquid that we're concerned about.

 St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Myrna Loy
Myrna Loy is best remembered for her definitive screen depiction of the "Perfect Wife," opposite most of the major leading men in the 1930s and 1940s.
Initially a bit player of exotic femme fatales, Loy found a more prominent niche as the witty, elegant spouse of William Powell (1892-1984) in The Thin Man films (six between 1934 and 1947).
Shaping her subsequent parts and the public perception of her, this role was rather restricted (her sophistication primarily an adjunct to her husband's good taste), but it was one she played with understated aplomb and her success reflects its attractiveness more broadly, an indication of women's limited choices in this period.
