The Pentagon Papers weren’t supposed to have been “disclosed” to the New York Times. Which won, as I recall, a Pulitzer Prise for publishing them.

Nice. They’ll do anything except take action against the elephant in the room - Muslims who want to kill Americans. They’ll step up screenings, keep people in their seats for an hour, prevent use of any electronics - but they won’t profile and they WON’T tolerate bloggers talking about it.

They are going after those that make them look bad. They don’t care about terrorists killing us, but heaven forbid someone make these fools look bad.

Heaven help us.

First of all, they would have had to pat the guy ON his member to detect this, no? Second of all, anyone pats me down on my upper thigh is going to get a knee in the teeth. For a start.

Here is where explosive-sniffing DOGS come in!

And I am certain a Radical Muslim would not be happy if a dog went right up and NAILED his crotch!
