In pieces.
= = =

INDEED . . . in "honor" of the religion of PIECES.

Works for me.

Preferably pieces wrapped in pig skin and rotting pork.

One.

One lawmaker.

Of either party.

In any elected house or senate.

To propose an immediate ban on all Muslims from United States airlines and airports.

Let them drive. Let them walk. Let them leave.

But I wonder why there is not ONE SINGLE BRAVE elected official to propose what the vast majority of Americans will support -

AN IMMEDIATE AND PERMAMENT BAN on all Muslims on all airliners.

Why isn't there one????

"Major UK terror plot foiled"
Posted by: Neil on Thursday, August 10, 2006 - 07:44 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "As reported exclusively on this website in June, British militants have been circulating a guide to constructing explosive devices that can evade airport screening devices.

One included instructions on concealing a bomb inside a disposable camera."

In light of the nature of the liquid explosives, we're temporarily banning all liquids as carry ons. No liquids or gels in carry on baggage. They must be checked.

Well then they better be doing pat downs on passengers, it would not be hard to put some liquid in a baggie and strap it to your body......

Damn.

ALL liquids on ALL flights are banned on carry-on luggage. The only exception--baby formula (along with a baby) and medicine, but the medicine must be in your name.

Security at Atl. Hartfield backed up 1 hour. Terminal is full and people are having to wait outside.

If Hartsfield is backed up, then most of the country's airports are also backed up. Arrive at the airport 2 hours before flight.

why is there not...an immediate ban on all Muslims from US airlines and airports....

Because the msm/DBM would freak out! They have trained the public that the US is always wrong and that those in Europe, on the continent and elsewhere are of far superior knowledge than we.

That raises an interesting question. Why did the uncle of the student found in Minnesota, Eslam Ibrahim Mohammed El-Dessouki, call the FBI instead of their embassy? Signal?

These clowns fear the FBI. My bet is this grocer had images in his head of Guantanamo Bay and became proactive about it instead of waiting for his house to be stormed.

That brings up a story my daughter and I experienced in the year 2000, we were returning from Houston to Dallas on Continental Air, short flight, half empty flight.

We sat near the door midplane, she sat across from me and behind me there was a man, dark hair but not ME he acted suspicious in that he was extremely nervous, at that time I thought he may have had fear of flying, we took off and he kept getting up from his seat and sitting back down, finally he got up and took a attache case from overhead and sat next to me. He opened the case and I kept looking at my daughter to do something, she got up and went to tell the flight attendant of the bizarre behavior, I looked inside the case and he had NOTHING but a pen in it.

He kept opening and closing the case. The FA walked by several times but never did anything to him. All I can say was it was an experience I will never forget and if that happened now the guy would have been arrested.

Who knows what we may have seen before 911 and never paid attention, so being alert is of extreme importance now especially.

New News:

9 planes

3 at a time

1 hour apart

9=3+3+3

Time 1+1+1 = 3

8/22

They're saying 21 people on airplanes....If 22 is pertinent, we have a dude missing.

If 8 is pertinent, we should look at "8" as two zeros...as in "Ground Zero".

We'll know more about the date and time as they release the info. Be patient. We're still on the hunt!!

Nol one briefed the Dims because it would not have been PC to tell them it was some Whaky Pakis. Also the airlines targeted included United Airlines, American Airlines and Continental Airlines. Certainly, anything with American in it does not matter to the Dems. But what about Herr bush? Shouldn't someone tell der fuhrer zat der Religion of Piece was going to strike? Und vat about der Bordrr, he doesn't want anything less then reform (no border), AH, der new world order!

Why isn't there one????

And how do you determine if a passenger is a Moslem, pray tell?

Time to start a policy of allowing only Muslims on only certain kinds of planes. They don't fly with other people.

Then if they want to blow the plane up, let 'em.

Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us. Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail. (Applause.)

I remember these words profoundly from President Bush's speech to the country - GOD BLESS OUR PRESIDENT!

The solution isn't that hard. Call up El Al airlines and start doing what they do to screen passengers. And set up a Certified Airline Passenger program where frequent flyers go through a background check and interview before receiving a special photo ID smartcard allowing them to travel with minimal restricitions. It's politically incorrect, because Suadi engineering students with one-way cash tickets are going to get grilled under hot lights for a few hours before they are allowed on planes, but it's time government recognized the nature of the world we live in.

Naw that would make too much sense. Better to waste resources screening my grandma, and the woman flying with 3 little kids while ignoring the 25 year old guy with a turban and beard named "Hassan".

We won't win a war if we REFUSE to recognize who we are fighting......

the anchor said they were not sure they got them all.

When oh when will they release information on who it is they have in custody?
When oh when will they release information on who they are looking for?

Are they perhaps Middle Eastern men between the ages of 18 and 40?
Or is it too politically incorrect to ask or tell?

..if they foiled it, how come they are at critical level?"

Just a wild guess...
Terrorists don't have a "quota" in the number of attempts they can make.

Well then..we do have those water and gel filled bras to deal with. The women who wear a gel filled or silicone prosthesis from a mastectomy..might have a problem as well..
