That's right. The world was so different before 9/11. I can't even imagine what the left would have said if the terrorists had been pulled aside that day and searched. Oh my..they would have found a box cutter? Was that even legal on a plane then?

I don't know about that. But I do know that the same people griping today, would be griping about Pres Bush then too. They're being used by the dems and don't even know it.

If Bush did these things and 9-11 were prevented, we would see the same people bitching now MOCKING the idea of an attack on the WTC using...BOX CUTTERS?!

Saturday Night Live would make a laughing stalk of the President, with a skit with crazed Christian Fundamentalists trying to take over planes using those little scissors kids use.

Bush would have been booted out in 2004 and the MSM anchors would say "The accepted wisdom is that this administration's claims that it prevented a major catastrophy not from nuclear weapons, but from common household objects, began the descent. But it was its Orwellian spying tactics that..." etc. etc. etc.

Anything short of a machete was legal.

Actually, yes. There were rules pending for a couple of years that would have outlawed them, but they were never implemented as Tom Daschle's wife, a high priced lobbyist, succeeded, with more than a little help from hubby, in holding them in abeyance.
