lie detecors and psychological profiles next??
*shaking head*

Man, they're really in over their heads...time to give it up and just accept the fact the there's always gonna be terrorism, no matter how many people we bomb.

It seems the terrorists won after all...

screw this just let racists run the airlines

they already do this, just with different colors: black, brown and yellow.

Yeah, no shit.

So fess up: who here can honestly see themselves not being allowed aboard an airplane in the near future?

Bush wants less government, remember! :1orglaugh

At the rate the airline industry is going, there won't be any planes running soon anyway. :1orglaugh

I'm just waiting for the day someone tells us we have to have barcodes tatooted on our farheads.

Bush is living proof that shit floats to the top.

If it will keep one terrorist off an airplane, I'm all for it. Don't do anything wrong, and you won't have any problems. :2 cents:

When I was returning to Czech last January, the computer at JFK decided to pull me out for a random thorough search. The two Arab looking students behind me were not.

When I asked the guy searching me luggage how many white, middle aged, business men had been terrorists or hijacked planes? He told me I did not understand the situation and was racist.

I doubt if he could spell terrorism.

What is the point if the guys doing the checking are not allowed to pull out the most likely suspects?

Bush is about to go to war on a suspicion.

what's next?

Holy Shit.



This is FUCKED!

Welcome to reality

No Shit Man... Too Funny!!

What really makes me laugh is only the government can combine, what? 30 some agencies and come out costing more. The reason you conglomerate is to save!

I don't get the emphasis on protecting airliners. The 'terrorists' know they can?t get past our shit (now); I just don't know why we keep funneling money into shit that is already protected, however, I think the extra money that would be saved should be going toward giving every household a roll of duct tape :thumbsup

I can only accept this arguement if the laws a very narrow and only target terrorism. How many people have been busted for having a joint in thier luggage.

You know what would also help to reduce "terrorism"? How about having the police search everyone's house every day and making a curfew where no one can go out after dark? How about having the military patrol the streets of every city and having random searches of all citizens anywhere they go? How about lie detector tests and interrogations for 10% of the population each month? These actions would definitely help to reduce crime and fight terrorism, do you agree with them?

If the government were to take kids away from their parents at birth, and raise them to be real good Americans, ones who do not question or doubt their government, ever, that might help too.

Also, how about taking all guns away from people and limiting what people can say, after all, what if these commie anti-war protesters are actually encouraging terrorists?

Why not just declare a police state, what would make you just as safe as you want to be, right?

It's amazing what some people are willing to give up out of fear.

At least the terrorist won't have to "hate us for our freedom" anymore when this administration is done. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh at the duck tape.....

You're 100% right. Anyone of us here if we were on a plane and some assholes jumped up we would attack them right away.

Hey Fiction this is a mindless comparison...

all homes should be have glass walls with 24 hour video monitoring. if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't have a problem with this.

fuck off! :321GFY

Blow things out of proportion a little more there hippie

you must be a terrorist.

:1orglaugh

Don't whine ... only some two years from now YOU as a U.S. citizen have the opportunity to kick George's ass and vote for someone else.

If you have nothing to hide, you don't need to fear a police state.

ummm not to sound crass but have you read the NEW proposed bill based on 'homeland security'? Have you bothered to read the ORIGINAL one already passed? Can you tell me how many rights Americans have already lost since Dubya became president, ... all in the name of 'security'?

and btw what the heck does YOUR credit report have to do with your wanting to fly from <wherever> to Las Vegas for a bit of fun??

I might be a blonde but DAYUM .. even *I* can see writing on the wall here.

Read the bible

"The sign of the beast!!"

He's not blowing anything out of proportion. That is exactly the direction this country is heading thanks to fucks like you.

It's just another way for your government to know when you last went to the bathroom.
Now you won't be able to fly anywhere without them knowing all your business. Bank accounts, etc.
Can some of you honestly say you don't "MIND" the snooping into your bank accounts, credit history, even parking tickets just to fly a few hundred miles for vacation or a business trip.
Talk about "Freedom"!
Give me a fucking break.
The day of the "mark of the beast" is coming!

Come to Europe or change your admin. Ok, things are getting fucked also here... so how about moving to Russia?
