Terrorists Almost strike Again.

[brainhurts]

You should check the thread about the JB Pakastani. There are folks trying to convince non radical Muslims to step up to the plate and stop this mess. The answer from some of our muslim pilots seems to be "we can't do anything so stop being mean to me"

I am so glad the FAA requires commercial airline pilots to have a 10 year background check before we can sit in front of the bulletproof door next to a crash axe. However our background check is not good enough for me to carry my own shampoo, hair gel, or toothpaste.

I tolerated having to take my shoes off (even though I knew they do not contain any metal) before going through the metal detector just after 9/11. I put up with taking my laptop out. But this latest stupid change is where I draw the line. I understand why the change was brought about but why do the people that work the flights have to be subject to teh same restrictions as the traveling public?

What the TSA seems to admit to me is that the people that run the security checkpoints now are no better then the minimum wage workers that did it on 9/11. So our tax dollars are now paying someone $40,000 a year to do just as bad a job.

Once again the government has a knee jerk reaction to something that happens somewhere in the world.

On the news rivght now, the info-babe just said that the terrorists were caught by the same means that are so controvertial over here. What would those methods be?? Wire tapping, Profiling?

And, I love the Ideas posted before about using theis organs.

Simple solution, Make them use what ever items the explosives were in. The guy with the tooth paste must brush his stinking, spoiled, corroded teeth with it. The lotion guy must use it on his smelly, non-deodorant sweating like a waterfall A$$. The gel guy has to put it on his FU##ING greasy, unwashed, smelly head. And down the road we go. UBA757

I just sent a letter to Bush at Congress.org regarding my proposed solution. This will keep the liberals busy for a while.:laugh:

Red Alert, Red alert, Must be coming up on elections again.

Red Alert, Red alert, Must be coming up on elections again.

That's exactly how Hillary and Kerry will play this off. "Bush is just trying to get people scared again."

Please tell me this in't what you believe, cuz if it is, you have no biusness operating heavy machinery.

The answer from some of our muslim pilots seems to be "we can't do anything so stop being mean to me"

Which really means: "We give our tactic and unspoken approval to our muslim brothers to kill, maim and destroy anyone that does not agree and live by our terms"

I do not think that is weird. I bring a gallon of lotion with me. Its usuailly gone after a 3 day.

Holy Crap! A gallon?! So you're the guy whose dried lotion I have to waste 3 alcohol wipes on to clean the side-stick.

 

[michael707767]

Why are we arresting these scumbags? Waste money on circus trials and publicity. They all need to be taken out and quietly made to disappear from the face of the earth.

exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Cactus-Wrench]

Dude, do you realize how weird you sound? Do you seriously bring a gallon of ice tea and ranch dressing in your luggage on your commutes?

Dude, yes I do bring a gallon of ice tea, a small container of ranch dressing, along with a loaf of bread, pound of lunch meat, gallon of water, couple chicken breasts, a hamburger or two, carrots, chips, cereal, quart of milk, and a few other things not to mention 4 days of uniforms. I commute from Florida to Texas, and have no wheels in Texas, stay in a hotel 3 days a week there. Being an aircraft mechanic, I am forced to do this or have 3 squares a day in the hotel, which I can't really afford after hotel and commute expenses.
My wife is a flight attendant, so hence why I asked about checking your luggage every leg, she can't afford to have every meal in an airport cholesterol shack, so we bring a lot of our own food, which includes water, ice tea, milk, and soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner, since she is hyper allergenic to the hotel so called shampoos. Lots of CREWS buy food at airport fast food joints, but even more crews bring their own stuff from home, so I'm dying to know what this new snafu is going to do for airline employees.

 

[SkiFishFly]

Not a bad idea. But they do have rights. They have the right to die a slow painful and agonizing death. I was elated hearing the news that Zarqawi survived the airstrike long enough to realize who killed him. I was also happy about the suffering he endured as he bled to death internally.

I heard they offered him a HAM sandwich - didn't want him to die hungry...

God bless the British Intelligence. Replace it with FBI, and Bubble Boy Prairie Chapel Ranch boy would be again looking in the empty, in front of a classroom

 

[Pat Fabin]

Man, I thought I'd be the first with the lotion joke. Damn.

I feel slightly miffed that Delta wasn't targeted....all our European expansion and we can't even get someone trying to take us out.

Just kidding, of course.

I'm pretty impressed with the Brits, however...they've foiled some pretty big plots over the years.

Nope, .I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

You chose your questions well. Here's a couple you missed.


Who bombed a federal office building in Oklahoma, killing men, women and children in a day care center?

1) Muslim extremist between the ages of 17 and 40.
2) Japanese veterans still angry over WWII.
3) Royal Canadian Mounted Police
4) White American veteran of Irish decent

Who bombed an abortion clinic killing women and children?

1) Muslim extremist between the ages of 17 and 40
2) Osama bin Laden
3) Hasidic Jews posing as pregnant teenagers
4) White christian extremists

Who killed about a dozen people using a sniper rifle in the DC area?

1) Muslim extremists between the ages of 17 and 40
2) Billy the Kid
3) Wyatt Erp and Doc Holliday
4) Black US military veteran and young teenager

Who contaminated several bottles of Tylenol?
Who attempted to bomb the Olympics in Atlanta?
Who was responsible for countless acts of terrorism is the UK and Ireland?
Who killed JFK? A former US Marine
Who shot Ronald Reagan?
Who shot at Gerald Ford? A middle aged woman


Maybe your pattern is a little harder to detect now.

Not only do terrorist come in many varieties, but as soon as you decide a certain group, say old white males, the terrorist will immediately seize on that opportunity to recruit them for their operations.
