Nine Eleven Decade - Page 7

So what this means is, if anyone pisses you off on a flight, you can simply report them as "suspicious" and they get striped searched by the feds. Nice.

Probably only if they're brown.

Well, I tried to do my civic observance duty and watch United 93 last night. But when I got the part where they pretty much stick with the stuff inside the claustrophobic and doomed aircraft, I got so uncomfortable and had to turn it off.

Maybe I'll try to finish it tonight, but I think I'll just cop out by watching it with the commentary track on. (And it's really an interesting story of filmmaking, as a matter of fact.)

A reminder that the word terrorism now means all bets are off. Anything is possible. Even from people who mean well and are just doing thier job.

Because there is nothing that woman could do about anything that happened.

And they wouldn't let her take her stuff off the plane- what about theft? Someone on the plane could easily have taken anything- nobody knows what belongs to who on a plane. I guess anything left on the seat might be a little obvious if someone snags it, but anything else is sort of fair game.

So the TSA is softening their search procedures on children 12 and under including allowing them to leave their shoes on. Sadly, I can see some terrorist exploiting this detail by trying to put a shoe bomb on a child and dragging them on a plane.

Maybe I being too negative...

It's no more or less likely than some terrorist putting a bomb in their own underwear, or childrens' underwear. Should we be making kids take their underwear off too?

Wait, I shouldn't ask Kevy that.

Love this take on the NineElevenTennaversary.

Very good article. Spot on.

Freedom, dignity, and an end to intolerance indeed.

Yeah, heard that on the news this morning. Lovely.

Of course, this is the same organization that, despite the demand of CONGRESS, refused to turn over to the 9/11 Commission its information that a cell in San Diego was assisting the highjackers and, more recently revealed, that another cell of Saudis in Sarasota was also assisting the hijackers and fled the country 12 days before 9/11. (Separate and apart from the 143 Saudis the Bush Administration had flown out of the country immediately after 9/11 on private jets and commandeered commercial aircraft while all air traffic in the U.S. was still grounded).

I'm sure evil, corrupt, and incompetent elements have existed in government and police authorities since the beginning of time, but it never fails to sicken me.
