It boggles the mind to think we have entrusted our nation's air security to people who think that because they confiscated the box cutters and knives of these two, and found no explosives, there's no risk.
And even if...IF...the presence or absence of weapons somehow defined safety, there was no way in hell TSA could determine that these two men were the only threat aboard. If history tells us anything, it's that Islamic terrorists run in packs, even for their dry runs and probes. An innocent item, combined with other innocent items once aboard...
Bureaucrats chose to risk the lives of a planeload of people rather than risk a reprimand in their personnel files. That is not just distasteful, it's despicable.
I wonder, would they allow these two to fly with Michele and Sasha to Spain or Marthas Vineyard?
Hell no.
But us?
Yes.
