thats great that the plan worked and all... but you would think that our intel would be a little better at discovering a prop plane VS a war threat....
as for the gernade, i saw that too...
the thing LANDED 100 ft from bush. it never says it was THROWN 100 ft.
as much as i hate bush, i would hate to see cheeeeeee$$$$ny running shit even more- so please don't kill bush.

Why are they idiots?
Obviously the defense plan worked precisely as it should have. I fail to see how this makes them idiots, I would think that you would consider them smart after creating a plan that worked effectively.
And I'm glad someone is on it - And I'm glad that someone (Or plural) are down-home rednecks (And Condoleeza Rice that are getting the job done. Because last I heard - No other terrorist threat has seen fruition, and it's all because of current measures in place.

this would be the same system that was in place on 9/11...
hmmm, i wonder what happened that day...
this is bullshit, our borders and airports are no more secure than they were 10 or 5 years ago...
another terrorist attack has not happened because they haven't wanted it to...

Horse Shit.
Security is SO overdone now that an old lady can't get on a plane with a nailclipper. And when we all read about that we made jokes and called for Airports to lighten up. When they lightened up, They get razzed on for being ineffective.
Holy shit, I thought I worked in a no-win situation. Flying now is FAR more secure than it was on September 11th, 2001. The no-fly thing was in effect, but when a passenger jet carrying civilians is heading toward Washington - Evacuating was the ONLY action that could be done. Did you expect them to shoot it down ? What would happen if we learned that they shot down the Pennsylvania flight? You would SHIT YOURSELF (Collectively) and call for new government. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
By evacuating, they made it clear that no Civilian will be harmed or questioned to protect a few buildings. They had mere seconds to act when they learned of things going wrong - And then to dispatch a remedy. Impossible.
We will always be in danger of terrorist acts - And the fact that it hasn't happened astounds me. It's incredible. Whatever underlying plan is in effect is so ingenious that it's immediately passed unsurmountable odds and worked.
Bravo.

Anyway, DUDE, do you read the news? Watch the news? Something other than snippets between Extreme Makeover? EVERYDAY I hear about another cell the was busted, or a guy caught with XXX device planning to blow up XXX place. Maybe not in the US, but somewhere.

PMi suggest you all go rent the Septemb8r Tapes documentary. it may change your mind on a couple things..
Aww shit, that's a good one!
True story here...
I refuse to allow airport security to xray my laptop bag. Common practice for people like me who don't like high frequency energy blasted at their machines. Of course, the security guy asked me to open my laptop bag.
Not a problem, I didn't have anything to hide. The next thing I hear from him is "You're a Jamiroquai fan?" I looked up and he was pointing to the canned heat sticker on my lappie. I nodded and said "Yeah, he's a cool guy." The security guard nodded and said "You're good to go." I closed my bag and went on my way.
THAT is your overdone security!
I didn't have to power it up, didn't have to open any of the pouches, nothing. That laptop could have been a compact bomb big enough to blow up that plane! THEY DIDN'T EVEN CHECK THAT THE LAPTOP WORKED!!!
Oh yeah, I feel a LOT safer.

And big guy, what do you do at work when you meet someone "cool" that seems to relate with you? You trust them. Do you let the cool guy that came to the register that was off 5 cents slide and say, "yeah whatever"
Will there always be poor workers of course there will. Are there poor workers everywhere? Of course there is... How can you expect there to be 100% amazing, effective workers for a government agency then? Just because its government they're supposed to overcome all odds and human nature?
You're a moron. So a guy let you threw, for every guy thats let through another guy is harassed...like my father or grandfather who fly frequently and are asked to open up their cameras or bags or do extra stuff that the common person who breazes by doesn't have to.

You are the moron for not realizing that a fuck up like that could cost many lives. What if I had a pistol (or two, was a big ol laptop) in there? Hey! I've got a plane... what building should I smash it into?

I could fit a small pistol into the space where the floppy would normally go (if it was removed), and it would still work. Granted, checking them for functionality is a good idea, but still not fool proof, so letting ten guys in a group of three hundred go by without is a rather moot point.

Its all about how many suckers will be sucked in and eat up every word that they say, just like Michael Moore.
