I'm with scaeagles as far as rooting out and destroying terrorism is concerned. I just don't buy the methodology that our government is prescribing. It doesn't make sense.

- a bunch of potential terrorists are arrested because they plan to take down planes with liquid-based explosives.

- the next day, Americans can't bring liquids on airplanes.

- how do they know that liquid explosives work?

- because they were used in 1995.

The timing of the new ban seems do more to foment panic (power by fear) than it does to actually prevent terrorism.

And that's one example of why I'm annoyed

(and if we're putting people into groups, I'm the registered Libertarian who tries to balance his fiscally conservative mind with his socially responsible and sometimes bleeding heart)
