Q. Do you think the LAX incident represented a failure of security?
A. As happened on Sept. 11, aviation was used as a vehicle for terrorism or for a political statement. When you look at the incident and the fact that it happened outside of airport security, there's really not a whole lot that the airport and the airline could have done different.

Instead of lecturing us, this jerk should vent his hostility on the Immigration Service, the FBI and the left instead of us critics and "whiners" who, in his eyes, are making impossible demands.

To the Editor: The tragic shooting at LAX is disturbing because the agent of a foreign government had to act to defend the citizens of California with his correct and lawful use of lethal force because there was no AMERICAN (especially not from California) around with the means and mindset to stop the attack. All we could do is try and seek cover while whimpering and whining about safety and security. The result, I'm sure, will be more hue and cry (emphasis on CRY) for more gun control laws when it has been resoundingly demonstrated worldwide that such laws only serve to make life easier and safer for terrorists and criminals. No cops, no national guard with their unloaded weapons....not even a sky marshall on a coffee break! An ISRAELI SECURITY AGENT. What has happened to the spirit of American "rugged individualism?" Gone. Replaced by cowardly liberalism.
Senators Clinton, Schumer and Lieberman continue to try to make us all walking targets (or flying ones in the case of disarming airline pilots who are mostly military anyway) because all LIBERALS are simply afraid to fight for freedoms that were won by blood, and now must be preserved in the same manner. We're in a war, folks. This country should be re-arming and TRAINING its citizens. We are now, all of us, on the front lines.

My wife just cautioned me that not ALL liberals are cowards. Maybe not...but the ones who count...are.
And thank you for your service to our country. Your profile is very inspiring. Hope to meet you at a Florida freep some fine day!

We are at War, there is no question about it. We have enemies here at home and abroad, and not all are from the Middle East!
Some appear to be in the highest levels of our Government!
I think the time has come to light these bastards and their countries up! We have yet to do much of that (Iraq was a side show and we didn't unload what we should have on that "conflict")...make a solid point and show of tremendous retailtory force and this crap would come to a halt! Ditto the perps who we catch...trial, sentence and then get a rope! No waiting!
