Could it be Because...?

phil,
What suggestions do you have to guarantee that people
wont be blown up on a bus or a plane from here to there.

What this tells me is that there is information that
indicates this is something that bad guys are gonna try.

This also tells me that the good guys are doing there job
and that would be keeping me and mine alive.

I cant believe this is some nationwide conspiracy to take
everyones rights away.

They have two choices. Let people die or stop it any way they can.
That means even feeling YOUR crotch for weapons.

But my crotch is a weapon, Klugmo....

Sorry, Klugmo, but you've lost the war on terrorism. They beat you.

They haven't beaten ME yet. Nary a one has been caught using these tactics, & it ain't because it's warned 'em off. No one knew about this latest one. It was outta the blue.

This is yet another way our fine TSA is working in conjunction with the FBI, the INS, & the DEA, because we are ALL potential criminals, now, & therefore must be searched & examined, constantly.

You are no longer free to move about the country, man. This crap started when the Supreme Court decided it was perfectly okay to stop your car & hold you until a drug-sniffer dog came & checked you out...& when they could stop you ti make sure you weren't drunk...& to stop you to make sure you have legal papers to drive...& it's moved on to public transportation. In other words - you can be stopped & strip-searched at any time, in any place, for any (or for NO) reason whatsoever. Does THIS sound like a place where ppl can live "free" to you?

Nevermind, you already gave up.

Nav, the link didn't work.

People with Drugs kill, People driving drunk kill, People without
a proper lisence kill.

This is not SHANGRI-LA.

The bad guys you and I knew growing up are not
around anymore.
Bad guys now are Evil, Psychotic, Scum Bags that don't really
need or want a good reason to kill you and yours.

People with Drugs kill.

The only thing I've seen people with pot kill is a bag of Doritos. I saw one study that said people high on it actually drive better than straight people.

If you're that afraid of it all, Klugmp, stay at home...but let the rest of us enjoy the freedoms our fighting men have fought & died for, rather than change my lifestyle to one similar to any of those totalitarian gov't-run countries who check one's every move, & strip-search their ppl at will.

This hyper-sensitive surveillence would be terrorism in itself. They think we wouldn't mind existing like ants for our safety. The idea has gone too far.

What Phil said!

Klugmo are you really that stupid, or just that weak?

I think the real reason that this "anti terrorist" frenzy still exists is that there are people making big money and gaining power off of it.

It used to be " Communists" or "immigrants" hell it used to be anyone not white. But people gain power and money by scaring the population with a perceived or real threat and then blow it up. And the population falls in line in fear and the scarers get what they want....a compliant mass......

Thanks for the heads up, hope it works this time

Well, if we don't have an outside group to blame, we might actually blame... *gasp* those in power. Can't have that now, can we?
