Most of the "security" checks I've observed seemed designed not to maintain security but rather to make us feel that security is being maintained.

Don't mind them, they are just practicing for the next "false flag" terrorist attack.

LOL!! You really think they don't know what a joke the security really is? Don't tell me you believe all that crap Bush/Cheney spouted?


I don't know what crap you are talking about as far as Bush/Cheney goes, nor do I care.

What I do know is that no one KNOWS anything for SURE, unless they are told.

And I do know that your media couldn't keep their mouths shut even if everyone's lives depended upon it.

I'll admit I had a good laugh though, over the news report that a military plane mistakenly flew nuclear weapons across two states. : ) Who the hell in their right mind wants the world to know about a screw up like that?

the people that want to change the policy that allowed that to happen ... that's who.

two scenarios ... both start where they mistakenly fly some restricted weapons around when they shouldn't.

the first case is where only the two lowest level guys know about it ... and fully realize they're in deep *#$&@ if anyone finds out.

the second one is where it's publicly leaked that this happened.

which one do you think is more likely to change the policy ... and which one is more likely to lead to nothing being done at all?

yea ... keeping it all under wraps is always the best idea ... and why not make it so that only one person should be able to decide what is and isn't under the wraps.

Let the guard sleep. The other ones, who were awake, didn't catch anything, either.

[I wonder how Obama would do if they investigated his ability to stop a small nuclear device being smuggled in a remote section of the Pacific Coast. Hmmmm...... ]

why don't you outline for everyone how this would be any different than it would have been eight months ago? be specific.

The greatest security in the universe will never prevent someone from getting to you if they really desire. What about the other more numerous places that the security was strong? Do they get kudos? Instead we focus on the negative, the places they got through. If anyone wants you or something you have, they will get it.
