Religious profiling making us safe...


Airport Security:  What religion are you?

Habib the suicide bomber:  ...Christian.

Airport Security:  Okay, go on through.

The story I heard was that they intended to use the shoe bombs to penetrate the cockpit door.

Yeah, I think it would be possible to hijack a plane in this country.

I do not, however, think you could do it the way they did it last time.

No. Waving your hankie probably wouldn't do it either.

OTOH, there might be a place for a Reid-type "shoe bomb" in such a scenario, although I can think of other ways.

Why is this news now? It's been quite a while since they "thwarted" these attacks.

Approval rating dipped too far?

"Justify"? That's what's wrong with congress these days and, of course, the media.

Congress feels there's wrong and right reasons for illegal wiretaps. Results speak louder than words. Congress isn't, and hasn't argued it simply on the grounds of the constitution. That would make it more difficult to justify the changes they're going to have to make so that their results are justified.

The sad thing is that most people think this is a party based mentality.

After 911 I suggested that we resart the airmarshall program again big time and at the same time we make the pilots cabin doors heavier and arm the pilots.

I would prefer that passangers with cc permits and the training be allowed to be armed but..

In any case..  the guns made us safe from skyjacking..  nothing will make us safe from bombing or getting shot down.

My guess is that the next skyjacking will be by someone getting on the pilots frequency and telling him that they have one if his loved ones hostage and will kill them if he doesn't do as he is told.

they (bank robbers)did it when time locks in banks started being popular..  Desperate people will allways find a way.

But.... I'm with MT.... No more loss of rights.   They have allready made it so that flying is not worth it to me.

The thought of Americans in their stocking feet being searched makes me gag.

Bah, come on Lazs - that's a defeatist attitude. If we all took that stance, it would be victory to the terrorists.

I'm going to keep flying. I may get captured, I may get killed, the tail might fall off my plane, or the roof might peel off. Who knows. But I'm not going to quiver under my bunk over it.

Does anyone here think it's still possible to hijack a plane in this country?
Whats funny is recently the left was whining that what we're doing to prevent airline terrorism was not enough!  Now here I see you saying "do you still believe its possible?

Well what is it? Are we doing a sufficient job in regards to security at the airport or not? Make up your minds! (not you, Sandy...the left in general)
