There was, and is, absolutely no reason for the entire country to jump up on a table with their collective skirts wrapped around their ears shrieking "mouse" because a handful of terrorists had the pluck to use BOXCUTTERS to blow up a billion dollars of prime New York real estate.
This government has gone completely feral and it needs to stop.
I have said it before and I will cheerfully repeat it here:
Emotion based Conservatism is as destructive to Liberty and a Representative Constitutional Republic as emotion based Liberalism.

The people who gripe the loudest about the security are the same people who will gripe the loudest next time a plane is blown up, hijacked or used as a missile. They will say that not enough was done.
That’s my opinion.
Easy for you and Peggy to say. W’s policy is to prevent another attack. What’s your policy besides complaining?
Peggy has nearly morphed into Zsa Zsa Huffington. Good riddance to her.
Airport security post 9/11 is significantly better run, more professional and more efficient than pre-9/11. I say this as someone who travels very regularly. before 9/11 the private agencies that ran security, hired nincompoops who barely paid attention or communicated to travelers...they looked like minimum wage idiots you might see at a fast food restaurant. today, security workers are much friendlier, more focused on their jobs and seemingly much more motivated to do their job effectively. Sure, i have seen a few exceptions, but despite the move from private company to government run TSA, I see a vast improvement.
No need to “shout”
