Bravo to the judge who is courageously taking the risk on himself because you can't pat down everybody, all the time, anyway.

Absolutely! Unfortunately, there seem to be a bunch of paranoids posting at FR, easily terrorized by what a bunch of radicals could do, if they chose, and were not stopped by our law enforcement agencies.

The facts show that driving on a highway is by far a greater threat to an individual's life than the actual threat posed by a terrorists - but most individuals drive down the highway with little concern, even engaging in talking on cell phone, conversing with passenger, eating their burger or puffing on a cigarette - or all at once; without concern.

The paranoia leads to the absurd knee-jerk reactions that foul air travel these days. The terrorists are winning by exhibiting a way of attacking the obviously vulnerable infrastructure that makes our life convenient and pleasant. Or by our own imagining of such ways. Shades of Y2K.

The potential for blowing planes out of the sky using easily carried, innocent items on board has been known to terrorists since at least Yousef's Bojinka plot in 1995. We've enjoyed millions of bombing-free, carry-on permitted flights since - one new exposed plot, and the world has a cockamamie reaction that begs the terrorists to do more.

We need to say screw you to the terrorists, by taking appropriate law enforcement steps against them, rather than shooting ourselves in the foot. Catch them and hang them. Else we die the death of a thousand cuts.

The sight of very swift judicial proceedings followed by the conspirators hanging ignominiously for several days as public spectacle would send the right message and dampen the enthusiasm of the enemy.

Or perhaps even better, their chuteless ejection from an aircraft at 30,000 feet over the Atlantic to serve their merciless death wish sans the innocents. The terrifying plummet, for fools with the audacity to threaten our public tranquility, could be filmed by sky divers and broadcast via Al-Jeerzira.

Did you see Ann's article: [Ann Coulter] Terrorists Win : Deodorant Banned from Airplanes

The government should not be protecting us from deoderant. The government should be banish, block, isolate and/or destroy terrorists, those who support them, those who justify them, those who enable them and even those who celebrate them. Just one crushing and indescriminate (War is hell after all) blow in the ME ala Hiroshima or Dresden would corner the market on terror and mercifully end the endless drizzle of blood.
