When 18 terrorists pull up to 6 elementary schools with car bombs that kill 6 thousand Amercian children will people demand that all cars and drivers be searched by high paid trained searchers before anyone can travel using a car?
Are lives more valuable in Planes than they are in cars?
Bogus question. WE can't protect against every terrorist attack, but PAYING passengers deserve to know that common sense precautions have been taken.
It's common knowledge that these terrorists will die for their cause. We know the airlines aren't inspecting checked bags. We're in a war. It's going to happen again. We might be able to fight against the terrorist with catgut, but we are TOTALLY DEFENSELESS against a checked bomb.
