Border security means 360 degrees and 3 dimensional defense of our periphery (air, land and sea in all directions). Not this unhealthy obsession with only one dimension of the threat that is the predominant opinion of most of those who are inclined to post on FR.
The threats rank:
number 1: SEA
number 2: air
number 3: land
I would only add to the above that incidents any place in the world, need to be in one's memory bank.
You are correct, we are not looking at the many points we need to be.
Have you checked out our World Terrorism Thread?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1607641/posts?q=1&&page=4401 Don't let the name throw you, Davey makes our threads and she wanted the world to know it was more than a one trick thread.
I try to post any terror threat that I find, from the world, and at times history or even nonsense, if I can find a light moment in all the ugliness.
We would be honored, to have you post with us.
Davey's only rule is no non-related photos, as some of us are still on dial up internet.
She does what she can, but she still has a full life and I have the time, so try to post an assortment.
There were several threats, a couple years ago, the childest type drawings on the Great Lakes / Ships and the tunnels.
I found and posted a series of tunnels that dated back centuries, forget the details now, but can still see the giant world underground from the photos.
They reminded me of the tunnels for Iran and N. Korea.
I post until I can't see or remember what I have read, so it is time for someone else to join us and cover some of the area's that we are missing.
I do hope you will join us.
We will need to start a new thread soon, but will link it and we did this thread to our first thread. I have not checked the readers counts for this week, but we do have readers, but for some reason, they do not post. I wish they would post.
Thank you for your answer.
