So you don't think terrorists would be more attracted to a large venue such as a football game instead of my local grocery store?

I'm tired of living with the terrorist boogeyman. Our leaders either need to wipe them out or surrender.

Why should I be subjected to pat-downs at football games, taking off my shoes at the airport, walking through metal detectors when I get on a train..?

Our leaders don't want to eliminate this threat. Just like they didn't really want to beat the Soviet Union for almost 50 years.

Hi Lunatic Fringe-

You of course are absolutely 100% correct. Many other FReepers would obviously prefer to live in a permanent condition of fear and have metal detectors, sniffing dogs, and patdown searches on every corner.

The leftists convinced you there are no such thing as terrorists? I've talked with radical muslims, sorry, but they do exist. But you can try to bury your head and say they are simply a bogeyman if it makes you feel better.

Well, the idea is to catch those who are attempting to bring items to blow up and/or kill others. Not all that difficult to grasp, really. Now one can argue that those methods are inadequate to instill security, but the general intention is security.

Our leaders don't want to eliminate this threat. Just like they didn't really want to beat the Soviet Union for almost 50 years.

Really...have proof for that? No? Just speculation on your part, isn't it? But go ahead and spout whatever you like, it's a free country. Just realize, your post sounds much like something from DU.
