Well the idea of terrorists is to create consternation even if they can’t create physical damage. Terrorists have to be loving this.
Exactly right. The 100 million or so muslims who want to destroy the west are laughing themselves silly at what we’ve done.
I’m infuriated every time I go through an airport screening and see the BILLIONS of wasted manhours and tens of BILLIONs of wasted dollars. This is an enormous drag on our economy and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this knocking down our economic recovery.
The ex-director of security at the Ben Gurion airport in Israel was on Fox this morning and says we are doing it all wrong. We need to focus on the intentions of people and their behavior rather than on the things they are carrying. But neither he nor the Fox interviewer would come out and say the word “muslim” — even they were too pussified to name the enemy causing all this waste and mayhem in the US. The Fox woman said something like “Wouldn’t your approach offend ‘some people’ “ or somesuch.
We are WAY past worrying about offending muslims and I’ll be 80% of the country believes the same. Yet we continue to bend over backwards for fear of offending their precious sensibilities. That the U.S. has degenerated to this is appalling.
