I don't understand your comparison.


The rest of your post implies that you do. Regardless, it just
reminded me of a group.

So while the US walks around jumping up and down cancelling flights
because of misinformation and X-Raying the shoes of children and old
ladies, the TRUTH is that the TSA is ineffective, and the majority of the
security process at airports is a farce.


That's an interesting speculation. One could just as easily speculate
that the cancellations were based on accurate information, random
screening is effective, and the TSA has prevented thousands of
terrorist acts.

Some groups of people speculate this way, and some groups speculate
that way.

It is also pleasing because some of us still have a glimmer of a hope
that this country will wake up and stop abdicating civil rights in the
name of protection from "potentially deadly situations."


Hmm, this reminds me of footage I saw of a group of people encouraging
this country to "think" and "wake up."

The only thing that you can guarantee in life is death.


Is this a threat?

When the government imposes upon the
people's civil rights in the name of "protecting us from potentially
deadly situations," it is disturbing to me.


So change it.

It should be disturbing to you too.


I'll decide what's disturbing to me, thank you.

I find other behavior much more disturbing.

But the bottom line is this: my joy comes because an innocent American
man who did not hurt anyone nor had any intention to hurt anyone was free
to get on an airplane and fly to London without being harassed or
arrested.


That's an interesting speculation. One could just as easily speculate
that this passenger was performing reconaissance for his terrorist
cell, trying to determine the amount of ammuniton he could
successfully smuggle aboard an aircraft.

Some groups of people speculate this way, and some groups speculate
that way.

So, do you think that terrorists could never figure out a way around the
TSA, or that TSA workers will never make a mistake, or are you just
gullible or delusional?


If I were either one, I wouldn't realize it.

There are lots of people in the world, taught to blindly hate and
destroy, believing that they're actually doing good, "fighting" for
what's "right." I don't think these people realize that they're
gullible or deluded, but I don't think I'm in that group.
