Love this post. Finally someone talking some sense.

Read whole article.

The world’s greatest nation seems bent on subjecting itself to a similarly humiliating defeat, by playing a game that could be called Terrorball. The first two rules of Terrorball are:

(1) The game lasts as long as there are terrorists who want to harm Americans; and

(2) If terrorists should manage to kill or injure or seriously frighten any of us, they win.

These rules help explain the otherwise inexplicable wave of hysteria that has swept over our government in the wake of the failed attempt by a rather pathetic aspiring terrorist to blow up a plane on Christmas Day. For two weeks now, this mildly troubling but essentially minor incident has dominated headlines and airwaves, and sent politicians from the president on down scurrying to outdo each other with statements that such incidents are “unacceptable,” and that all sorts of new and better procedures will be implemented to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

In response to this story: WSJ article:

People are screaming about TSA, but the guy boarded in Amsterdam – not the U.S., where the TSA has complete control. The TSA works with all foreign airport securities to make sure they are TSA compliant, but we can’t control other governments.

Since there’s no proof positive that there is any link between this bomber, Mr. Abdulmutallab and Al Qaeda, I find it ridiculous that we would just take them at their word backed merely by circumstantial evidence. C’mon, let’s do some investigation before stating there is clearly a connection.

It certainly would be cost effective for Al Qaeda to take responsibility for this attack if there is no connection,taking all the glory without having to lift a finger. Maybe the bomber studied Al Qaeda’s methods and copied them. If his father was as wealthy as purported, he would have access to funds to purchase this explosive on the black market.

As for the investigation into whether detainees “had a role in the Christmas bombing plot”, I find this laughable as the detainees are not even given access to lawyers. How are they communicating with the outside world, let alone a recent convert?

The steps to prevent further bombings on planes are ridiculous. Nothing on your lap for the last hour? What about the first hour? You mean the terrorists are going to always wait until the end of the flight?

If you don’t want to get blown up in a plane, don’t fly. There is no way to prevent every attack. I will continue to fly and feel safe. The odds, even before 9/11 safety measures were taken, are extremely small that anything will happen during air travel.
