Thats how they are effective tho.  Thats why its called terrorism.   Its 99.9%  mental.   they attack the minds....   And I dont buy  one guy with a towel wrapped around his head in some cave can pull it off.   You dont see that anywere else in History.

 "Ya but look at all these bamfa sticks ive just never hear of them hitting something so big before".

"We are only meant to think sand people did this. These blast points are to accurate for sand people".


Of course Obiwan says it much better.

What can I say, I'm a nerd.

Not that I think we need to live in fear of terrorism, I just thought I should point out that while those numbers may indicate that we have on average one terrorist attack per 3,105 years of flight time, all of the attacks have been within the last few years. So, those numbers are just a tad misleading. Just sayin.

Do I fear terrorists every time I get on a plane? No. Have I even given two thoughts to the possibility that I might be sharing a flight with a terrorist? No.

You need attention this bad?   I guess.   

Karaya,
You know I've had your back for the most part, but why belittle someone for posting something in the O'Club that they think is relevant?  Do you drop the hammer on someone talking about a fishing lure, model airplane, or a Wednesday Babe that doesn't seem up to snuff?  Why is this different? 

Don't mean to be a jerk, but these "You're just looking for attention" posts really pi$$ me off.  In general discussion or aircraft and vehicles, cool.  There needs to be relevance to the topic or forum.  This is the O'Club though. 

If ya think about it, it's kinda the reason that the O'Club exists...

All of this is just IMHO.

the loss of civil liberties to those on the right side of the fence.

I can't think of one single constitutionally provided right or liberty that I've been denied since 9/11.  So I have to stand in line for 15 minutes before I go through a security scanner before I go to the airline gate--no big deal.  Unless you're contention is that the cost-benefit of all the enhanced security isn't justified?

Yes, there are people out there that would love to kill you.  No, they are not hiding behind every single tree in Hyde Park.  Some of that is because security measures are preventing them from entering or operating in our countries and the other is that there's just not that many of them, relatively speaking.  Either way, nice trivia for the cocktail party circuit.

Karaya can always be counted on to post something churlish, pejorative or petulant.

Sometimes all three at once.  One can rarely reach such a pinnacle of egocentric obnoxia, it takes years of dedication and practice.

With respect. You are not thinking hard enough or haven't been in a situation that makes you think .."hold on a second...this ain't right."

United States - The death toll on our highways makes driving the number one cause of death and injury for young people ages 5 to 27. Highway crashes cause 94 percent of all transportation fatalities and 99 percent of all transportation injuries, yet traffic safety programs receive only one percent of the funding of the U.S. DOT budget. The staggering loss of life and the incidence of life-threatening injuries occurring each year is best described as a public health crisis.  According to a WHO report, "The Injury Pyramid," for every motor vehicle injury resulting in death in the US, 13 people sustain injuries severe enough to require hospitalization.

In the US DOT publication "The Economic Costs Of Motor Vehicle Crashes," NHTSA investigator Lawrence J. Blincoe reports that in 1994, motor vehicle crashes accounted for 40,676 fatalites, and 4,100,000 injuries (of which 533,000 or 13% were serious). The total lifetime cost to the US economy for automobile accidents that occured in 1994 was $150.5 billion.  The 1996 NHTSA report "1996 Traffic Safety Facts" (pdf) came up with similar though somewhat improved  statistics: 41,907 fatalities and 3,511,000 injuries, 456,430 of them serious.  The 1997 NHTSA report "Traffic Safety Facts 1997" reports 41,967 fatalities and 3,399,000 injuries, 441,870 of them serious.  The 1998 NHTSA report "Traffic Safety Facts 1998 Annual Report" reports 41,471 fatalities and 3,192,000 injuries, 414,960 of them serious.

That's why I *drive* when I drive ..not 'text' ..not 'phone' ..seatbelt on *always*

Shoulda painted 3 kill flags on the Durango ..took out 3 Toyota Camry's ..
..ROFL at the lady who was watchin a guy jog on the street, didn't see the Big Bloo Bus stop for the car turning in front of me ..the trailer hitch tore her hood pretty much off and damn if she didn't bend my license plate holder!

..then there was the one packed with Mexicans, driver was on the *phone* and ran a redlight as the Big Bloo Bus was traveling thru the intersection on the *green* light ..that one flat spotted all 4 tires, ruined a running board, ...she hit the right rear tire dead on.. when the Durango spun from the impact it tore up the running board a little, messed up the leaf spring mount on that side a bit too.

..and so on.

I'm probably biased, because I know what those guys are a) capable of and b) made of.  They are not bogey men, they are not unbeatable, but they are dangerous.  I don't know how it is over in England, other that what I've been exposed to when I've traveled over there.  But, I haven't seen anything out of the box, and I think the security measures they have in place (in the U.S.) are consider prudent by our national consensus.  That doesn't mean everyone's happy with them, but most see them as now necessary.

I respect your opinion, even if I don't understand it.

The only reason for that picture to be posted, is for Flamebait.   He already eluded to it in his "spent so much money and loss of civil liberties" reply on the bottom of the first page.   That picture isn't posted in ANY FORUM in a "Friendly" manner.   Also, for Biploar and DREDger's "trolling my posts", they are their own worst enemy.   One day they'll figure it out.
