I am afraid our government is trying to protect would be teorrorists for some perverse reason.
Standard airline regulations before 9-11 were to fully cooperate with all hijackers. The door to disastor was fully open.
Obviously this rule has been modified but TSA seems to be thwarting allowing pilots to carry concealed weapons.

No, these clowns are desperately trying to maintain the illusion that they ‘protect’ the people so the people won’t get the high handed idea they should be protecting themselves.

Lie detector? They’re investigating a possible reconnaissance mission by a Middle-Eastern male and they give the only witness a freakin’ lie-detector test?

I don’t think lie-detector tests are even admissible as evidence in court anymore because of too many instances of false readings.

Let’s see, the guy was stressed out and SHOT, so of COURSE his heartbeat, respiration, etc. would be elevated!

And if we do have another terrorist strike (Heaven help us) the government will be deeply saddened and cry – “If we’d only KNOWN, we could have done something to prevent it!”
