But this is America. We want the freedom to travel without any restrictions. People are still pissed they have to have a passport to go to Tijuana. We want all these freedoms but are too big of pussies to just let a few people "fall on the sword" so we can all be "be free".
Bunch of babies if you ask me.
I say let it be known to the terrorists that we just don't give a crap, and we are going to go back to the 70's when you could bring a pistol in your carry on. I bet the lines would be shorter at the airports.
Then, when the 5th or 6th aircraft is blown out of the sky the whole damn lot of you will be crying for full body scans.
Quit acting like babies and accept reality. Would you rather a piss bag or two get unhooked or 300 people at a time get blown up?
Man up. One way or the other.
If you are suprised by any political kickbacks you are an idiot.
My argument is that free TSA Happy Endings and body cavity searches (I'm sure MACS would enjoy) would have done nothing, nicht, nada to stop the previous two incidents where they tried to blow up a plane. Mainly because those terrorists got on a flight outside of the country...where they don't get groped.
However, that salient fact obviously hasn't bubbled up to the "top" of the current regime.
So, being the geniuses they are, they've "wisely" decided to put a second deadbolt on the front door for everyone's protection, and leave the back door wide-frickin'-open so that any idiot can wander in...
...but at least they won't get in the front door, by God!
