If you think the current security measure will stop a bunch of Muslims from hijacking an airplane with any sharp contraband, you are wrong.

I am not agreeing with the current security measures, just trying to make a point. Private ranges? absolutely not, I think it is all f*cking garbage BS, just like the TSA. If someone wants to blow up a plane or fly it into another building they will find a way to do, its that simple. If you read my other posts I agreed that TSA is just a "feel good, BS" organization that makes the general public feel safer, but doesn't actually accomplish much of anything besides being a pain in the ass and over stepping boundaries.

I always try NOT to make exchanges of Ideas and viewpoints personal.

I respect your opinion, regardless of how wrong it might be [LOL]


All I am saying its that unfortunately we will see the error of our ways in a manner much like we see the mistreatment of Native Americans, Japanese Americans, Mexican immigration and the multitudes of other mistakes this country has made in the past.
and we will attempt to correct it after the fact by throwing multitudes of money at it.

Our leaders are no more accountable for their actions than a 2 year old, they are creating policies and projects that do nothing except to attempt some feeble justification for their over bloated salaries. and to retain this they use fear and "Selective reporting" to create the fear that brought their positions about to begin with.
Do you HONESTLY think that the policy makers will pay for the treatment of people dying of cancer caused by the scanners?
YOU and YOUR CHILDREN will foot that bill.

Hell, if you want to pay people to fuck up policy, grope your children and kill your family, we are putting the wrong ones in jail.

Sadly there will be no "public outrage" or Boycotts. The majority of our society has been trained to keep their heads down, pay their bills and contest nothing. Don't make waves, Don't stand out lest you draw unwanted attention to yourself.

I think more grovelling is in order here.

We will be flying next month, I am going to write on my ass i"f you can read this FUCK OFF."

Security on airliners is a joke. I was on a flight to Hawaii a few years back. My daughter-in-law worked for the airline in question, so we scored 1st class seats from LAX to Maui. We were served a meal on board with a plastic knife, a metal fork and spoon, and a glass drinking glass. Now, I'm no criminal, but I'm pretty sure I could kill or injure someone with at least 3 of the items mentioned. [Bang]

The same thing goes for the liquids ban: why is a bottle of water purchased on the concourse different from one purchased at the grocery store? It's not as if they can control and inspect all of the millions of bottles sold at the airports. I will guarantee that they do not open the cases and run a sniffer over every bottle. It would be child's play to get contraband into the "sterile area" if one were so inclined.

It's all a moot point anyways. One can do more personal damage with a ball point pen and a paperclip than with a pocket knife or toenail clippers.

It's just a means to look like they are doing something positive when in fact they are advocates for complete rule.

And once again I say profiling and sterotyping exist for a reason... but I get flamed when I say that so flame on!

Nothing will change until there is a mass revolt.

Alright, its passed my bedtime. Been up since 1500 yesterday. You guys have fun with your groveling. I will try not to take anything here personal, hopefully we are all on the same page. The devils advocate can be a fun role, I thought about pushing it to the extreme, but feared being kicked off and possibly never be heard from again.

Gents, have a good day!
