This is the War on Terror, and as citizens of this country, we have to fight it here whether we like it or not.

The problem is, this "war" has no end. I don't think the solution is to keep stepping up security to the extremes.

Besides, I have a hard time dealing with a government that talks about having to take extreme measures at airports, while people are able to walk across the border.

The "War on Terror" is like the war on blitzkrieg. You can not win a war if you will not identify the enemy.

I understand where you're coming from. It seems like we're left to fend for ourselves.

I don't want security stepped up to the extremes, either. I'm well aware that if we turn airplanes into Fort Knox, they'll go after trains and schools and soft targets. But from the standpoint of the airline industry, if security measures become so burdensome that it begins to erode their balance sheets, they'll have to come up with something to draw people back to flying. And I'm not referring to here and now. I'm referring to D-Day plus one. After something occurs, what then? Who's going to fly if it's that easy to assemble a bomb on a plane and they're profiling Norwegian grandmothers instead?
