My blood boils at the though of a terrorist trying to take over a plane I am on. I have a mental picture of me (a 63 year old woman) attacking them with whatever I could find ( knitting needles etc.). I am sure all the strong young men would be on him first. I could see 20 or 30 old women taking the suckers down. LOL!

Or a nuclear bomb given to al-qaida by Pakistan, Iran, Russia or North Korea. Those countries that Bush is too reluctant to strike militarily.

You would like the US to strike these four countries? Simultaneously, or can we do it one at a time? Do we pull our military out of Afghanistan and Iraq to strike them now or should we wait until they've finished the job in those places first? Should we ask for help or go it alone? Are you going to enlist or should we reinstate the draft? Just trying to get a handle on your scenerio. (roll eyes)

[One of the passengers who failed to turn up was a trained pilot from the Middle East who has since disappeared and cannot be traced, according to US intelligence sources. ]

Yes. And the reason he didn't show up is because the duplicitous French had ANNOUNCED that the flight was cancelled.

sorry, knitting needles are not allowed on an airplane. You have to think about something else? :-)

Unless there has been a recent rule change, knitting needles are *specifically* allowed. That is, the term "knitting needles" appears as a permitted item, in TSA's rules.

But, a 2" long screwdriver (that is not part of an eyeglasses kit) is forbidden. I had to give one of those up in Fort Wayne.

What does the airline do no background checks on these pilots? Don't they have security badges, and pictures?

On another note, I guess we'll start hearing the leftists praising Bush. After all, he knowingly let 9/11 happen, but stopped this catastrophe in its tracks.

New York Post headline? BUSH KNEW, AND HE STOPPED IT!

I wonder,will the **nt from Chappaqua hold that headline up in the floor of the Senate?

Ohhhhh Ok that makes more sense. Still how did they know he was a trained pilot from the middle east? But now they can't trace him? It sounds like they know who he is.

He He, unfortunately, praising GWB in such a case would require a logic the looney left just doesn't have.
