This situation is ridiculous. All an Islamic terrorist has to do is drive an explosives-laden vehicle onto the Bainbridge ferry and the deed is done.
After all the "When did Bush know and when did he know it?" garbage spewed out by the Democrats, Political Correctness still reigns supreme.
A grandma from Poulsbo is not going to attack a ferry and asking her if her if she is driving a car bomb serves no purpose whatsoever. Middle Eastern men driving onto Washington State ferries need to profiled at every ferry terminal.
We can't sacrifice any more American lives on the altar of Political Correctness.
Scary. That's my ferry. You may be interested in my post #89 on this thread, posted at the same time you were posting.
Did I tell you that when the National Enquirer and Globe and Star published pictures of terrorists on their covers right after 911, my local Safeway put white cardboard over these covers so people couldn't see them? I asked why. They said, people had complained about possibility it might make shoppers think the "wrong things." I was enraged! Finally convinced them to stop bowing to political correctness and let people see who the enemy was. Ihad to threatend to call the distributor and the publications to get any action, as the tabloids pay for those racks at the checkout counter, and store was violating their rights, a form of "economic terrorism." Big sigh. The significant thing was that the politically correct were on their toes even as smoke was coming from the WTC, making sure we didn't profile anyone or hurt any feelings.

A e-mail response from the Ferry System on my questions about taking firearms onboard
My conclusion is that the State Patrol is being a little more selective than the newspapers are reporting.
