I wrote this on a previous thread, with a quote in italics.

An excellent message that needs to be repeated over and over and over..... It doesn't matter if it is gun ownership, home invasion or national security.... It doesn't matter if it is a burglar, a rapist, a murderer or a terrorist/jihadist... The issue of our age is self defense. The Democrat Left has drawn a line in the sand in Connecticut. They are against survival.

I thought it was a strong move. But actually, it is a huge crisis for the airlines. We've got to get this war fought and won. Eliminate Bin Laden, Al Quaida and straighten out the sick freaks out who think that sick cult of Islam is going to "take over" anything.

"Two of the arrested terrorists, a man and a woman, purportedly admitted they planned to use one of their infant son’s formula bottles to store liquid explosives."

Is this the behavior of human beings? When Islam infects a person’s soul, does the person cease to be human?

Yes, and then they stuck their collective heads in it.

It seems to me it is unconstitutional not to profile! The government of this nation is to provide for the defense of the citizens, not make us lambs to the slaughter for political reasons. I am beside myself with anger and disgust at the democrats and all leftists everywhere!!!! Should passengers take matters into their own hands, You bet they should. No one else will!

Personal Note: This flight attendant should be fired.

MY personal note? Sher Sieve is psychotic. The flight attendant who refused to take the bottled water is a sane person in a terrorized world.

The whole article makes sense except for the part about the water bottles. There should be some room for discretion, for heaven's sake. The worst problem is bureaucratic inflexibility and stupidity in the first place.

For instance, is the cap intact on a soda water bottle, with the safety ring unbroken? Or if it is an opened water bottle, why not just open it up and sniff at it? Water smells different from inflammables and explosives, IMHO. Someone needs to use common sense and develop sensible rules, rather than make passengers suffer from thirst on long flights.

This would especially be true of people with medical problems such as kidney stones who need plenty of fluids.

The time for passenger mutinies arrived during the hijacking of Flt. 93; it has never ended.

You might have added that nowhere are they more strongly against survival than in Great Britain.

I think a lot of people have "mutinied" in another way: they have quit flying. I no longer fly domestically, and doubt I'll ever take another overseas trip.

I'm a retired Colonel. For nearly 40 years I held either SECRET or TOP SECRET clearances. Yet I've been "selected" for secondary inspection, and am obviously on some kind of list, because on one flight the inspector asked me where my laptop was (I didn't take it on that particular flight).

Harassing me is sheer stupidity. Go after the likely bombers, not the rest of us.
