“On the first day of what was supposed to be tighter screening ordered by the U.S. for airline passengers from certain countries, some airports around the world conceded Monday they had not cracked down.”
We’re cracking down, our jihadist enemy is cracking up...they must be laughing their a$$e$ off at us...they will make us go broke yet, won’t they? They know we will spend our very last penny before we profile their a$$e$. This is like watching a football game; the defense has decided instead of worrying just about the offense on the other side of the ball, they are going to cover the WHOLE STADIUM...
If we had a President, he could put out the word to the entire world. “If we cannot get tighter passenger screening at your country’s airports, your flights won’t get clearance into U.S. airspace nor be allowed to land here.... PERIOD!!!!
I feel much safer now. /sarcasm
Fine, if that’s the way they want to play...
Turn every flight inbound around right now, I don’t care about the fuel state of those flights...They’ll find somewhere to land...
But since we have a feckless leader who can’t comprehend the problem...Oh, check that, he knows exactly what is going on...
I bet that action would get the attention of a lot of people then...
Isn't that.......profiling?
