Maybe it's just people with guns?
Maybe someone is pumping money into the concept of rolling back all the airline safety stuff (much of which was put in by Algor, a solid leftie).
I wish I could give you a qualified answer. I cant. The only thing I can think of is the attempted universal reach of Islam. If you can clear the planes, trains and other forms of transportation of any deterrent and crap happens!
But, to postulate this idea reeks of conspiracy and Im not a conspiracy nut.
The only thing Im willing to personally consider along these lines is Obamas Islamic heritage.
Other than that, who knows?
