In Israel they simply "profile" or as it was once called "deductive reasoning". And they have very few problems. Our issue is not about protection as it is about control.
Next they will want to pat you down when you cross state lines. Through baby steps we lose more and more freedoms and give more control to the government in the name of safety.
where is our 4th amendment rights in all of this?
Why is it they spend twenty minutes looking at my ID when all the 911 highjackers had valid Virgina drivers licenses?
This is not about safety, its about government control.

You took what I typed the wrong way. If you havent read the article lately there was a gator that someone brought on a plane that crashed and the gator was the sole survivor which is why I posted gator on there to show how crazy people are. The gator on the other hand I believe was on a small private flight, but nonethless someone still decided to bring it along. I never said that people would hijack a plane with it. I doubt someone would do that on a commercial flight and wouldnt get that far but I am just pointing out that people in general are crazy enough to do weird stuff like that.

Simply put: I am just saying that in general I would feel safer having security mesaures then not having them or having them to lienient where a real weapon (as in bomb/gun/knife/razor) could make its way on the plane that I may be flying on.

i agree Ash..i would just rather be sitting in my seat on the plane knowing everyone was throughly checked then wondering and even experiencing.. anything out of the ordinary... theres no place to run up there... your there and even if they wrestle the suspicious guy to the ground your not going to stop the ticking bomb if he has one.i say check and be checked... scan and pat down ..do what ever you have to do to protect people against terrorism... then we win...but if you are the ones who refuse this pat down and scanner..i wish they would board you all together on your own plane..lol

looks like i'm gonna be doing a LOT of driving..

this is a whole new ballgame, it's not just the swabbing your shoes and general pat down anymore. the last 3 times i've flown out of AL and GA they have stopped me and required me to submit to a pat down and swabbing my shoes and carry ons for bomb residue. Keep in mind that i'm a 49 year old fat white woman, born and raised in the USA. and when i go to the airport i wear sweat pants, slippers and a light t-shirt. and i carry one blanket, a small neck pillow and my purse. everything else is in my checked baggage.

with this new search criteria they are required to touch a woman's breasts and they are required to touch a man's groin area. my personal opinion is that this sexual assault and i will not be flying anywhere anymore.

i'm actually surprised they aren't doing cavity searches.. i'm sure that's next.

That right there sums all this up. Follow the money and the power flow. It isn't about protecting us, it is about controling us. Did you never wonder how they could create the Patriot Act in a matter of a few days? It was already written waiting for the right time to sign it. Why we just can't seem to stop people even when we are informed by thier Dad to look out for them? If it comes from the Ex-Patriot American out of Yemen it stinks link fear tactics to me, Fort Hood shooter included. We knew about him and did nothing. Fear is big money and buisness is good.

Oh Please Protect me,take my freedom, I'm Scared
