Let's face it, you are never going to be able to protect yourselves from terrorists. There are so many ways they can get you that it is just a matter of time.
I mean look at China, who knows how long they have been contaminating the food and now they are selling guns to the Iranians to be used against your military. And the only reason that anyone has started paying attention to the human food is because of the tainted animal food. It took cats and dogs to start dying before anyone took notice.
People are expecting some big thing to happen when maybe it will be something less noticable like a gradual poisoning or something.
"This sort of thing will continue to occur until consumers start to sue the airlines (yes, the airlines) for false imprisonment and for the pain and suffering that result. The government may ultimately be at fault, but it's the airlines that keep the passengers imprisoned on their airplanes and that choose to do business in this environment. And so the airlines should be held liable." Posted by sparkyguy ~~~ I agree 100%. This whole Homeland Security is smoke and mirrors. With the delays and general annoyance of air travel today, they will never be able to stop a person who really wants to do harm (and we had those people before 9/11, so this is nothing new). All this nonsense about 4 ounces of gel products and having to buy your bottled water at the airport instead of bringing a cheaper bottle from home will never guarantee our safety. Why? Because life is full of risks, and no one can guarantee your safety. Also, if you know how to do it, your thumb is a lethal weapon. So what is this taking off your shoes garbage?
this major "glitch" is just a small fraction of the total inconveniences and headaches Americans and others have suffered and will suffer as a result of al queda and terrorism. we are being held hostage in our own country and have lost many freedoms because of their fanatical idealism and political agendas. Just as bad to see so many posters on these sites placeing the blame on U.S. policies and poh-poohing the proven threat of jihad and other radicals. These type are IMPOSTERS and are a fermenting cancer to resolution and peace
Yeah, it's the government's fault...hmm, who is the government anyway? Di*ck Cheney is the Vice President of the federal government but he hates the government that would address these issues...hmmmm, anyone ever ask what's wrong with this picture?
Lets get Haliburton...maybe they know who's in control.
Yup, this is the kind of thing that happens when you are totally dependant on computers.
But what would all you whiners do if they went ahead and let everyone get on the plane without being able to check for information on those computers and let the WRONG person on the plane. You'd really be whining then.
What do you think is going to happen, one day, when the plane you are flying in or the train that you are on, has a computer glitch? It would be "bye,bye" time.

AMERICANS ARE TOO COMPLACENT AND CODDLED!!
That is the risk when you fly. I don't feel sorry for any of those people.
Wait until a few more years when the sun issues start to interfere with the electronic devices we depend on world wide.
