why people want to do it to us is another thread. for whatever the reasons, they wont be changing their minds anytime soon so we need to protect ourselves. Or what we throw our hands up in the air and do nothing.
Planes can also be used as weapons, which is what makes it different than the other places you mentioned.
You can't protect everywhere, unfortunately.
I was just mentioning to someone how I wish there was more security measures at sporting events. I go to both college and NFL football games. At least at the NFL games they pat you down, even though it is half ass and they barely touch you. The college games they don't even pat you down. Neither make you walk through a metal detector. At the college game I could have an AK47 under my coat and they wouldnt know, go in fire it off and kill a bunch of people and the mad rush stamped from the panic will kill 100s more as people would get trampled.
Airports and planes seem to be the target of choice with terrorist at this time, so we need to at least do what we can there. If they start targeting sporting events you can be sure they will need to ramp up security measures there as well.
If they did a better job protecting the boarders and points of entry then things would be a little more safer in this country. Its just a matter of time a suit case nuke walks across the boarder from Mexico via the middle east.
