bob, don't you think our enemies are "tipped off" with every failed attempt?
Our leaders have taken it away from the subtle, & are simply frightening Americans so that certain special interests can make $ off of our fears. I think it's all disingenuous & despicable, not to mention COSTLY for a nation that's already strained its pocket to the extreme.
I don't believe for a second that "someone got word of a terrorist plot concerning a Fla bus depot." This is indeed the next step in our freedom deprivation.
There is no need for Americans to be subjected to all of this fear on a daily basis...nor is there a true need for these types of tactics, ESPECIALLY when it's obvious, even to lay ppl, that the tactics can easily be circumvented.
How gullible do they think we are?
The most frightening thing is, listening to some of us, I think maybe they're right - we ARE that gullible, as a ppl...& that sheepishly frightened of everything, that we would simply give up all that we are for a very doubtful hope of "safety," when they won't even give us THAT. They freely admit the system they're employing doesn't work, for heaven's sake!
Looks almost like they're BEGGING for more attacks, to me.
When dealing with extremists, I'll agree that extreme measures must be taken - WITH THE EXTREMISTS & THEIR ALLIES!!!!!!! - & NOT with the "free" ppl of the United States.
SMILE - it's the safest way to spread your cheeks!
