rationale? They are terrorists. Bush had nothing to do with muslims taking over planes. There would have been more terrorism if it were not for Bush and we had had the likes of Al Gore or John Kerry in the WH during that period. The fault for terrorism lies with muslims not George Bush.
Agreed that they are terrorists. But the hassles of flying (TSA, etc.) are ineffective and intrusive - that’s what Bush put in place (along with more NSA snooping, etc.) Bush was ok in many respects but he blew it with the TSA.
