ANOTHER old lady strip searched
"DevilsPGD" wrote in message ... A better question is why we single out air travel for security while allowing these dangerous items in other venues? Why aren't we searching people for water bottles before allowing them into malls? Air travel has, in the past, offered a prestige opportunity for terrorists to practice their arts. It strikes fear in the hearts of air travelers when something like this happens....a lot of bang for the buck. In the USA, the interest in bombing builds is less. One in Oklahoma and the car bomb in the WTC some years ago are all that come to mind. 9/11 caused a double reaction since several planes were hijacked more or less simultaneously, everybody on the four planes died, and three major buildings were subjected to kamikaze attack. These people will stop at nothing. There is no negotiation with them, other than possibly cutting US ties to Israel. I believe deeply that they are planning ever more intricate ways to frighten and kill American people. I would be very disappointed with the government (more than I already am) if it didnt pull out all the stops to protect the people. ] If they can waste a half billion on Solyndra, more on propping up GM, banks, brokerages, etc, then they need to move where the threat IS. One place this weak excuse for a president has avoided is the border with Mexico. He just pulled out many of the border guards who were in place to keep the border functioning. What would it take to smuggle a rogue nuclear device over the border and get it into Houston, or Los Angeles, or into a major sports event... not too much. |

Look, you've more chance of slipping in the bath and killing yourself than you are of being killed by terrorists. Indeed, even if you live in Iraq you've more chance of slipping in the bath and killing yourself than you are of being killed by terrorists. -- /home/bill/Desktop/sig |

But, if something can be done to improve the odds, then that should be a goal. Making the bath manufacturers fit non slip mats in all their baths would save more lives than all the airport security in the world. However that gets no votes, sells no newspapers and would be considered another aspect of 'the nanny state' just about everywhere. On the other hand a job in airport security lets people with no real power or authority and very little education make life hell for 'guys in suits', posh little old ladies and pushy old men. -- William Black Free men have open minds If you want loyalty, buy a dog... |
