"The blame for this idiocy lies squarely with the Bush administration."
That's absolute malarky. There have been instances of terrorists using unsuspecting passengers to smuggle items onto an aircraft. In addition, you seem to forget that there are American Muslims too. Just because some one doesn't look like a terrorist is no assurance that they are not.
The idiots on FR that want grandma left alone and only Muslims screened are as dangerous to our security as the ACLU.
You hit it right on the head that the terrorists will indoctrinate or use unsuspecting dolts for their purposes. Currently, in Iraq, they are paying men to drive cars from one location to another. The driver does not know the car is packed with explosives and is detonated remotely.
Thank you, I now feel so much safer that people are now being arrested for having BIC cigarette lighters or table knifes.
Without outstanding citizens such as you, we could all be murdered by little old ladies with their dangerous wheel chairs.
Tonight, my wife and I can sleep soundly, since we are all safe and secure once again.
A butter knife? Man get f'n real.
