EDITORIAL: TSA is a joke to al Qaeda, too--Groping nuns, kids and seniors won't thwart terrorists

they keep pushing until the host country tries to kill every last one of them

[screaminsunshine]

Can there be any doubt now of the insanity of our Federal Government? It has gone beyond the bounds of reality. Compassionate Communism is just as big of a failure as Stalin Castro and Mao.

[jazusamo]

No doubt at all, al Qaeda has our government jumping through hoops.

[ransomnote]

Two descriptive terms I’ve come across today that were new to me:
‘Gate Rape’ and ‘Grope and Change!’

[Hodar]

Responding to a British government restriction on toner cartridges weighing over 500 grams (only 17.6 ounces), the jihadists asked "Who is the genius who came up with this suggestion? Do you think that we have nothing to send but printers?"

There was a paper sign at my local airport advising me that I couldn't bring a toner cartridge weighing more than 'x' ounces. This was my thought too ... what about a portable radio, an alarm clock, humidifier, small desktop PC, Satellite receiver, Kitchen food processor or a host of other plastic boxes with electronics inside.

It's just like having a room full of 12 yr old children making up the laws and rules as they go along - no, I think 12 yr old children put more thought into it.

I think maybe we'd better drop the last two phrases from the national anthem until this nation "mans up" once again and stops treating us citizens as the criminals!!!

A good start would be to send the entire TSA to the US/Mexican border and order 'em to start friskin an futzin with all the "wanna be citizens" that have made it impossible for this citizen to leave this county and even come back from Canada without a passport!!!

A fricken bull moose has more freedom of movement around our borders than I have!!!

[superloser]

The terrorists have won.

[jazusamo]

Yep, there’s any number of things and they can’t all be checked. The Israeli’s know it and that’s why they profile people.

Maybe the passengers should be able to ask the following:

Are you lesbian, gay, bi or hetero sexual before anyone got to grope them, huh?

[RC2]

They have our government on the run and afraid of their own shadows. If they really wanted to destroy large numbers of us, all they have to do is look at one football stadium. We scan our own people, search their bodies, fine them if they don’t like it, jail them and what do we do with illegals? Nada, nothing. This government is so stupid it is getting sickening.

[ransomnote]

Very good points! And ‘Are you a member of NAMBLA?’ and ‘Have you ever been convicted of a sex crime?’ These ‘intrusive’ questions are necessary for public safety.

[sionnsar]

Hm. Time to re-read Sun-Tzu’s “The Art of War.”

[sionnsar]

The terrorists feel confident enough in their position to taunt the United States. The ink-cartridge bombs were mailed to synagogues in Chicago, which they call "Obama's city." The names on the packages were based on famous historical enemies of Islam, and one of them contained a copy of the novel "Great Expectations" because they were "very optimistic about the outcome of this operation."...

Taunt they should. This administration's responses are ludicrous at best.

Taunt they should. This administration's responses are ludicrous at best, and much like something out of Monty Python.

[BigBobber]

"Operation Hemorrhage" - al Qaeda's name for the ink-cartridge attacks - cost only $4,200, which they claim "will without a doubt cost America and other Western countries billions of dollars in new security measures. That is what we call leverage."

We can't play defense against Muslim terrorists. We have to go to their homes and take them out where they live. There will be no peace in this world until that is done.

[jazusamo]

Amen to that!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

There you go. "It's against my religion to be touched by a homosexual, who is an abomination."

[lightman]

[jazusamo]

No doubt about it, kill them where they live. If captured, swiftly put them before a military tribunal and then kill them.
