Patrick Mercer, the Tory Homeland Security spokesman, said last night: "This is a victory for terrorists. These people on the flight have been terrorised into behaving irrationally.
IF his thinking could be ANY more convoluted, I'd pay to see it...
BS statement of the first magnitude! If passengers continue to observe and question their fellow travelers , perhaps those politically correct idiots will profile. This condition will change once air travelers have confidence in flight security rather than listening to the likes of Patrick Mercer. Those individuals who refused to fly are to be respected.
Here is a question for all..."What if anyone can opt out of a domestic flight due to what I shall label "security concerns". Will their tickets be refunded? If so, how many refunded tickets before the corporate airlines place enough pressure on the functionaries in government to begin profiling in earnest? Only then will the flying public trust the security promised.
