We all should be willing to accept the government's word that attacks have
been thwarted. Public disclosure of how the intelligence was gathered only
helps the bad guys.


I hope this is a joke.

Ask anyone with a knee or hip prosthesis about what it takes to get
through airport security.


They deserve it. Ditto for old ladies in wheel chairs. I feel safer. I
kind of knew that something that musn't be disclosed to the public is
happening at security checkpoints. It makes sense now.

Listen, git, nobody's taking over an airplane again. It didn't even work on
the fourth (maybe more) plane. It took less than an hour for *citizens* to
figure out what was happening, devise a plan and act. Frisking your granny
isn't going to accomplish what they claim.

I agree, unfortunately, our misguided civil rights activists think that
profiling is illegal, even though it would be much more effective and
would spare the grannies of the world ... until a granny attempts to
bring a bomb onto an airplane.
