Trust me, Bob. I'm fully aware that there are plenty of options available to the bad guys, but I have been trying to address the security issues as they relate to the topic of the thread: the boycott of airlines because of the current TSA standards for security. As I said earlier, the pat search is a very effective tool to use in the prevention of contraband. Do I like this? No. Is it necessary? I think so. It is a cost effective way that is proven to aid in situations where security is of paramount importance. When a panel of experts/authorities have to make decisions in regards to security, considerations must be given to effectiveness and costs to implement and maintain the chosen approach. How much security do the American people desire? We'll see. Apparently, this is going to take some time to get sorted out. Very controversial issue. When the hollering/name calling begins (as per usual) here on ET, people tend to lose good analytical thought and judgment. Fortunately these are not the types who will make the final decisions on this matter. The main objective for airport security is to prevent the bad guys from doing what they once did to us, regardless of whether people, at least in the beginning, are not comfortable with the decisions that will be made.
what i'm trying to say(sorry for my poor english(not my native language)) that if terrorizers have any intentions to strike and kill american people-they would done this long time ago. fuck the planes..if they really interested in such "war"-all they have to do is to blow up couple cars in middle of Manhattan.that's it. this would create a fucking chaos in a whole entire country, financial markets included... they are experts in this shit,but for whatever reason-nothing like this never happens..why? i believe all of this..i mean-ALL(including various "plots",recent pathetic "attempt" with "explosive" packages )-all this is a little tiny parts of big political game for benefits of those groups with "special interests".. here is an example- http://www.boston.com/news/nation/w...02/group_slams_chertoff_on_scanner_promotion/ but this chertoff guy is probably lowest level of that "food chain" what really upset me is the amount of greed and fucked up selfish interests...i mean..how much money do you really need in this life? do you really believe that money earned this way would bring you happiness to you or your family members? those people are truly insane imo..it's a very very sad to see this in 21 century, in the country,which promote "democracy and freedoms" i think US should look at yourself first,before teach others,like Iraq.. "iraqi freedom"..what a joke..
they sh hire security trained MDs to do the groping, that way it gives some credibility, imagine if security experts joked about the size or shape of their gropes during lunch times
Western philosophy of life is way off, mainly because it teaches that the desire to obtain money, sexual desire and basic needs are the main motivators of humans, actually the endless desire for more power is the main and strongest motivator in human life. If you think that people who have more money than they need and thus can fuck as much as they want and obviously easily fulfill their basic needs, aren't seeking the power they so badly desire, you're a stupid naive citizen.
I was thinking/wondering from long time what if 8 or 10 big strong men hijack a plane with bare hands. Strong men do not need weapons. There are other people who have written this same concern in other forums. Some years back a pilot in Egypt (not sure) crashed his big plane in sea committing suicide killing all the passengers because he was having trouble with his job and other personal problems. There is possibility that pilots may carry out terrorist attacks. Airports are vast areas with hundreds and thousands of people working in it. USA is bankrupt and people are desperate for money. There are millions of low-wage outsiders working in USA. Terrorists are rich. They can buy/bribe people to sneak weapons in planes. I think terrorists are not interested in hijacking planes because nothing has happened for past 10 years. Terrorist know that passengers on a hijacked plane will not allow the terrorist to take control of the plane. Passengers will fight back to save their life because they know the plane will be crashed ultimately. There will be no more 9/11 attacks (I think). There will be no more hijackings (I think). Terrorists are killing USA mentally/stress/tension/fear/slowly. Fear/stress is the biggest killer. I know this. Terrorists are bleeding USA to death. The cost of a gallon of gas/fuel delivered to USA units in Afghanistan has risen to $800. Eighty percent of the supplies of the US-led forces in Afghanistan come up this long, difficult route. Along the way, the USA pays large bribes to Pakistani officials, local warlords, and to Taliban. USA debts has reached $60 Trillion to $200 Trillion. USA is bankrupt. Killing each Taliban soldier costs $50 Million Killing 20 Taliban costs $1 Billion / Killing all the Taliban would cost $1.7 Trillion. USA is fighting a losing battle in Afghanistan. USA should learn from Russia and withdraw all their soldiers from Afghanistan and bring them back home. If Russia could not win in Afghanistan so will USA not win in Afghanistan.
It's obvious. The Afghan-Iraqi War is a cash grab. 50 Million to kill 1 Taliban. American troops guarding the poppy fields. Not eradicating fields, but aiding farmers. Poppy production increased 10 FOLD since America invaded Afghanistan. Record opium production. 1 Trillion in supplemental appropriations for both Wars, per year. It's a blackhole to launder taxpayer money into Corporate Hands under the guise of fighting "terror". America was hijacked by Fortune 500 Corporations to plunder taxpayer money a long time ago. They do it through War, regulation and financial terrorism. Nearly every piece of recent legislation is a bailout to some major Corporation or entire industry, altogether. And guess who lobbies Congress to get that legislation passed? It's total crony Capitalism. Pure corruption.
it has always been like that. Only diference is they are not hiding it anymore. They have all the power, taxpayers/voters are just blind puppies .
