ONE love, blood, life
A combination of luck and persistence seems to have helped us dodge more than a few bullets, Bojinka just goes to show that this war has been going on well before the public took notice.
A_Wanderer said:Your skepticism is very good and I hope that it is completely unwarranted, but keep asking the questions. The time when we don't hear these opinions expressed is the time that they may actually be true.
A_Wanderer said:You can do very little damage to a lot of people with a low velocity pistol or a taser, so grabbing a marshalls weapon does not seem to be a threat. Having Air Marshalls has been an effective detterent for El Al, and they profile so non-Jews are medium risk and Muslims are high risk for security. Religious profiling strikes me as legitimate.

Do you have a link?

Numb1075 said:yes, I thought you were serious.
MrsSpringsteen said:I think FYI would be a better name for it
Numb1075 said:All I'm saying is that the methods used to track these guys down worked and save a few lives. No, not everyone should be wire tapped. But if that's what you'd like to believe I'm saying than so be it.

If the attacks had taken place, you'd have blamed Bush for being incompetent.
If the attacks are prevented, it's political posturing by Bush
It's a Catch 22 with people like you.

Here, here. But's it's worse than that. Some people actually see Bush as THE threat to our our civil liberties.
--Patriot Act. BAD. "dismantling of the Bill of Rights."
--NSA surveillance. BAD. "invades our privacy", "impeachable offense."
--Detaining suspected terrorists. BAD "they should be given all rights under our legal system."
--Interrogation of detainees. BAD. "it's torture."
--Common sense screening of passengers. BAD. "it's profiling."
--Following the money trail of terrorists. BAD. Must be exposed by the NY Times.
--GWB. BAD. "liar", "war criminal", "world's biggest terrorist."
Maybe Thursday's near miss will wake some people up.

And just what did your conservative controlled Supreme Court rule on the matter?
Go on, illuminate us.
JMScoopy said:here's how to stop terrorists from blowing up and hijacking planes:
1.) you arent allowed to carry ANYTHING on the plane
2.) all luggage is checked
3.) when you get on and after they close the door, but before the plane takes off, they pump the gas that puts you to sleep like when you go into surgery. So everyone except the pilots sleep through the whole fight. Then when the plane is ready to land, the gas flow stops and people wake up on the ground.
i guess it would also help people that are afraid to fly.
Kinda crazy, but i think it'd work.
