The term bogeyman is also used metaphorically to mean a person or thing of which someone else has an irrational fear.

And this is the context to which I refer. I think it is an irrational fear that terrorists are going to do something at a Bucs game. I'd be more worried about Bucs fans lynching Jon Gruden.

The way this "war" is fought is ridiculous. I have to be patted down before I board a plane, but that Arab three people back in the security line is waved through. I have NEVER seen an Arab man scrutinized at the airport, but I have to throw away by Cat-5 crimper "because it's a tool" and the rules say no tools are allowed on a plane?

So, yeah... I support doing away with the pat-downs because they are WORTHLESS and perpetuate this culture of fear created by King George and his Motley Crew of Fools.

I would say I wish Reagan would come back, but then I remember he skulked out of Lebanon 3 months after the marine barracks were bombed.

Our country is not serious about this war, and if the government isn't going to take it seriously, why should I be inconvenienced for the sake of window dressing???

Well, one might counter by saying BECAUSE our nation is taking national protection so lax then a Bucs game is more at risk than it would have been. But if what you're saying is even if a terrorist cell were interested in blowing up some people at an NFL game there are 32 teams, so the chances it's a Bucs game is pretty small...well, that'd be true. And, of course, that's assuming they might be targeting an NFL game. Conversely, we can just forget about any efforts to protect the nation...sure would be cheaper.

As for your "king George" comment...well, again, you do sound like someone posting on DU.
