I remember a FreeRepublic where people didn't pass blame for themselves onto their government but instead simply complained about legitimate government problems.

I'd say that a "legitimate government problem" was one where the gov't concerned itself more with shutting down strip clubs than stopping moslems from flying jets into buildings.

[New Horizon]

Increased security at critical sites so that we can enjoy the New Year.

[Mo1]

Now Ridge is talking about the Flights from France being canceled and working with them and the UK on responding to these threats

[BigSkyFreeper]

The DOW is climbing. ;)

[Petronski]

Then drop on the floor and flop like a fish!

I think that's it...

[Political Junkie Too]

"Americans, be on the lookout for Middle Easterners carrying back-copies of 'Highlights'..."

So we can tell Goofus from Gallant?

[cajungirl]

would loved to have been at that meeting.

[PhiKapMom]

I would rather have too many warnings then no warnings. Having spent years working for the Air Force, I know they have background that the rest of us are not privvy to and I trust their judgement to tell me what I need to know and no more!

[New Horizon]

Aviation security amendments. Int'l air carriers will provide trained LEO on flights.

[My Favorite Headache]

Ridge: " Be on the outlook for Middle Easterners carrying Copies of the book "Where's Islamo, The Red and White Striped Turbaned Terrorist"

[Mo1]

He is mentioning improvments on all planes coming to, from and over our country's air space

[mhking]

Staying at Condition ERNIE for now.

[Rutles4Ever]

No -- I think it has to do with the Timbertoes and how they kind of look Persian. Then again, they could be sending codes hidden carefully in an illustration of Grandma's Kitchen. I found an axe the other day that was made to look like a lampost. Very scary.

[NutCrackerBoy]

Reporting suspicious activity helps your fellow Americans.
