With the recent plot by Muslim terrorists to again use the airways as a means to murder innocent people a question came to mind. Just how safe are we and what can WE and the airlines do to make travel safer? I personally think that a total ban on personal electronic devices and carry-on baggage by passengers would help. Sure it would be an inconvenience, but wouldn't safer travel be worth it? Also with all the attention directed at airlines, how good is security on other means of travel such as cruise ships? Is the security as good? It seems that if terrorists wanted to kill thousands in a single attack then a cruise ship would be an logical, high profile target.
That 'Registered Traveler Program' funded by Homeland Security MUST get off the ground and fast! http://www.saflink.com/ Forgot to mention they are a biometric security firm. Bone
silver, your question harbors a falsehood. "Islamic terrorism" is a VERY rare thing. For all pratical purposes there is NO "Islamic terrorism".
I read your post OldDan and I see that our village idiot hasn't been reading the newspapers or watching the news. I guess his head is STILL suck in the sand...always has been, always will. This is so typical coming from a "green-peace-socialist"...sooooooooo typical.
I see no mention of "Islamic Terrorism" in my post Danr. I see "Muslim terrorists" (if you have to quote then don't change the context). Are you telling me that these terrorists weren't Muslim? You better call the proper authorities and tell them they have the wrong people! Anyways Danr what does this have to do with the question asked in my thread that you have manipulated, hijacked and turned into another of your senseless misguided ramblings. If you insist on acting and constantly proving that you are a total as_h_le please do it on one of your own numerous educational threads like "Pics of Bush". Textbook material there!
Never can be safe enough nowadays. Especially with the likes of Danr, Cloudedjudgement and MOEN siding with the enemy. IMO only the bare minimum should be allowed on a plane. Are there liberal coins to invest in, because I see a huge future demand for all things liberal skyrocketing in a few years?
The threat is exaggerated to the point of absurdity. Further it has come to light that even the 911 commission are calling for a real investigation into that day (Muslims probably were not behind that one). Basically this whole thing is fake. Take a peek at the lou dobbs link.
com'on silver you need other viewpoints to stimulate the grey matter. And some of those bush pics are funny (you could do one on Clinton).
I will tell you this Old Silver, that is Danr is no fun any longer. He's so predictable that he has lost my attention on anything he says or posts. Kind of like cotton candy at the fair, all show and a lot of hot air!.
Anyone who has seen the movie V for Vendetta, will notice that the plot of the movie is very similar to the conspiracy theory Danr adheres to. A British political figure and a pharmaceutical company kill 80,000 people with a virus they created and only after rising to power come out with the cure they had all along. Is it life imitating art or the other way around?
lou dobbs came out with some suspicions on the official story, and the 911 commision itself have called their investigation and report false. it is starting to come out.
