Is TSA going to the airport stores and doing the same thing there?
They ban everything except the most important: Middle eastern men in their 20`s.
Election wes two days too early for Liberman.
News item...
The United Airlines terminal at San Francisco's airport was a scene of growing unhappiness. Both the security and check-in lines had a number of switchbacks and confused travelers pushed and elbowed each other.
Bill Poland, 61, of Ross was headed to Lake George, N.Y., with his wife and son. He held up a tube of lip balm and shouted to a security officer who told him he couldn't bring it on the plane with him. He said he recently had a cancerous growth removed from his lip and the anti-bacterial ointment was necessary treatment.
"In an hour or two my lips are going to start burning and turning purple. And I've got five to six hours on a plane without this," he said. "This is not something I'm looking forward to."
The British Foiled the plot by Tapping bank transactions and Phone calls.... They are much smarter than the Stupid Democrats Here.
Word.
I had heard a report that stores in airport lounge and gate boarding areas sell any number of items that could be used as "explosive" devices. That's got to be a real hit on the revenue stream if this madness continues.
Boy, that sure right!
Typical liberal solution - make every one EQUALLY miserable.
I want ALL muslims deported. If this is unfair to the handful who really don't at least aid and abet terrorists - so sad, too bad.
MY children and grandchildren are ALL innocent.
"They ban everything except the most important: Middle eastern men in their 20`s."
Very perceptive except you forgot Middle eastern men and women in their 20's
Our transformation into helpless cattle apparently needs to be hastened.
let me guess
all 21 arested were young male moslems.
The one predictable fact of life and the ACLU refuses to admit it.
Our 'everything is normal, move along nothing to see here folks' attitude by the gubamint has not helped but to contribute to that attitude you mention, imo.
We are at war. regardless of what the anti-war proponents want to sell as candidates these days.
