One of my girl friends tells of three similar incidents that occurred on flights she made shortly after September 11, 2001. A gentleman stated loudly for all to hear, "If anyone has any plans to take over this plane, they're going to have me to deal with!" She said several others chimed in with similar comments. I'm afraid we are becoming increasingly complacent (after all, Kerry said the President exaggerated the threats of terrorism) and we will pay for it.

Yes, there is a placidness that irks me.
But I'm not as concerned about being sued as I am about being forced NOT to do something, that I know I should do.

I 'll tell you a little story that happened several years ago.

My husband and I went down to the Boutwell Auditorium for a Bill Gothard Seminar. Our two sons were with us. There were policeman standing all around and I had never seen that many in a Christian Seminar?????????? Anyway, we started into the foyer and all of a sudden, there was loud sounding shots. I screamed as loud as I could, "Everybody get down". People began to hit the deck, right there in the Boutwell! Then a policeman said loudly, "Mame, that was just a car backfiring". Well, I thought my husband was never going to quit laughing. I didn't think it was funny at all. My word, What were all those policemen doing there anyway? Well, we never found out. Just went on in to the seminar. But, when you are expecting there could be trouble, and I did because of the amount of LE there. Anyway, that's my story. I think people, especially when it appears there is a problem, need to DO SOMETHING!!! ANYTHING!!! This is what I mean by high strung! & :-)))))
