‘It’s Beginning To Look a Lot Like Russia…”

NS said, "There has been at least one instance where security procedures were dropped because they were found to be pointless and ineffective."

I don't know about you but I would call any security procedure that allows dangerous things like loaded guns, knives and bomb making material onto airplanes 20 out of 22 times pointless and ineffective.

How about some of those "common sense" procedures that actually work instead of just making innocent law abiding citizens targets of needless big government harrassment?

Is that so much to ask?

 

Must have been before I joined BB. :smilewinkgrin:

 

You know what would make me feel a whole lot safer NS. I'll tell ya. I'd feel a whole lot safer if you and Carpro both submitted to a full cavity search. I'm not joking!

Yeah cuz ya see my Big Sis says if I see anything suspicious I should report it. I think you and Carpro both act alittle suspicious so it's my duty as a good citizen to turn you into the FBI. Isn't it not? I got the number from a tv screen in Wal Mart just the other day and I programed it into my phone. Just in case. Got it in my speed dial and my finger is on the button.

But because I'm such a nice guy I'm gonna cut ya a break. This time. If you both agree to a cavity search I won't drop a dime on ya. That's fair isn't it? I'd feel a whole lot safer if you did.

Hey I'm giving you guys the benefit of the doubt here. I'm supposed to turn you into the FBI if I think there's something fishy going on and boy do I think there's something fishy about you two! The only way I'll ever feel safe is if you guys prove to me that you aren't with Al Qeada, or some radical right winger nut group planning to blow up the corner deli.

I saw you guys taking pictures and talking on your cell phones right out in front of it the other day! In broad daylight! You were looking at a map and making marks on it with a pen or pencil!!! And you had dark sunglasses and hats pulled way down over your eyes!!!

I think one of you even looked at me! Got my finger on the button. Assume the position now or answer to Big Sis. It's up to you. There's innocent lives at stake here.

How about the rest of you folks out there? Don't you think these two are acting suspicious? Wouldn't you all feel a whole lot safer if they proved they weren't some kind of wierd radical element up to no good? Ah, maybe I should just call the FBI and report em anyway.

What do you all think? Do these two fit the profile?

Keep in mind, those who commit terrorist acts:

Usually live among us without appearing suspicious while planning and preparing for their attack. They may be your neighbor, student or friend.

Often they will need training or equipment that will arouse suspicion.

Need to conduct surveillance on possible targets and gather information on the planned attcak location.

All of these things make terrorists vulnerable to detection, by those watching for certain characteristics. SALUTE

 

Yep when in doubt demonize. How typical.

All I did was paint you a picture of the kind of America you consistantly champion.

Oh BTW,

Even the current head of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now admits that airport security as we know it is largely a failure. In light of the fact that reactionary security changes have done nothing to thwart supposed terrorist plots and everything to target innocent Americans, some government officials, as well as TSA administrator John Pistole, are now recommending that the airport security paradigm be altered to become a more "intelligence-based" system rather than a technology-based one.​

"Let's be honest: We've been lucky the last few times," explained Senator Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), Senate Homeland Security Committee chairman, in a Boston Globe report. "With the Christmas Day bomber over Detroit and the Times Square bomber and the air cargo attempt, they did not succeed, but that's because of their own inadequacies, not because we were able to stop them." SOURCE ​

Don't let this information get you down though. Just because I was right about the "enhanced" airport security being a big failure doesn't mean you can't keep right on being one of it's biggest cheerleaders. A false sense of security is better than nothin I reckon. Just think, all that groping and treating law abiding citizens like common criminals for nothing. ​

On the bright side, it only cost us 57 billion dollars to find out. What a bargain. All hail Big Sis!​

Here's another picture of "your" America. My little Stasimas gift to you. :smilewinkgrin:​

I feel I should clarify one point in my last post NS. I believe I made an error in accusing you of demonizing me. That was wrong and I apologize.

It only occured to me after I had some time to think about it that what you were actually doing was misrepresenting the truth. Not really a lie but not exactly honest on your part either.

But don't feel all alone because you aren't. You and a few others here abouts seem to always resort to misrepresenting the truth in this way as a default postion whenever you run out of . . . lets say more honest means of debate.

I do not use what you and others call "inside or secret" infrmation only I know about. I try very hard to post only factual information that is part of the public record. And I always include a link to the source of that information. Unlike some others here who evidently feel their word and or opinion based on skewed evidence (aka corporate/government propaganda) is good enough.

I get tired of repeating myself but, I'll say this again.

It's not my fault that some of you here are just too lazy to learn and comprehend the truth. I understand it's much easier to just take big government and the corporate media's word without question. This approach doesn't exactly make one an informed citizen and it certainly doesn't make one safer or more secure. It does however help to make one a sheople and an easily manipulated one at that.

Again NS, I apologize for accusing you of doing something you didn't do. I do enjoy our discussions and hope we can have many more in the new year to come.
