Default why election important

I work for the airline industry........in my mind the biggest disaster to
the industry was 9/11. Which candidate do you trust to prevent another
attack? I think you know the answer.

Which party would prevent you from posting tons of off topic political
drivel? Oh yeah, the *PLONK* Party. They've got my vote.

On Topic to please you.

If the rag head pilots can't get in cockpit, how can they pull off
another 7-11?

I heard they were working at Circle-K, not 7-11.

Indian Ambassador: We are sick and tired of America involving itself in
Indian affairs.

Pakistani Ambassador: And we are sick and tired of America involving itself
in Pakistani affairs.

IA: So we have decided to take drastic action.

PA: We have just closed every 7-11 in your country!

And what makes you think that anything that has been done in terms of
aircraft hardening has been a reasonable preventive measure? The
failure of 9/11 was not access to the cockpit, but the policy of doing
what the hijackers wanted to avoid bloodshed. Any of the pilots, had
they understood what was going to happen in that case, could have
prevented the eventual outcome by performing abrupt maneuvers or in
sacrificing their planes and the lives of those on the plane if they knew
what was going to be the outcome. I don't think that a 9/11 kind of
attack on the plane will ever have a significant chance of succeeding
again. It was truly a one shot deal.

Not only that, but the first hijacker through the cockpit door gets a
splitting headache from the crash axe!
