| What is absolutely confounding to me is the situation with the airplanes. These assholes have gone completely off the deep end with regard to searches and banning of items. They continue to waste enormous sums of money to make sure people who are incapable of any possible crime on an airplane are thorougly searched.
They further this behavior by thoroughly searching the same passengers, time and again, when they clearly pose no threat to the airplane. A simple background check will clearly show that I'm never going to be a person who is going to attempt to hijack an airplane.
But, absent their behavior regarding airplanes, all other avenues of entry to the US are relatively wide open. I can send a container with a nuclear warhead right into most of the cargo terminals and the chances of detection are about 2%. Does the administration tighten any of the controls on these items every time they scream "terrorist". The answer is no, they don't. And why not? Because they don't give a shit about security in this country. They simply use a show of force at the airports to remind the public that the terrorists are going to strike at any minute. This serves their interests and commands a fairly large group of the popluation to support the administration simply because there has not been another terrorist attack since 9/11.
The entire situation is rigged purely for shock value and to reinforce the fact that GWB and company is strong on terrorism and will get the job done.
Nothing can be further from the truth and I sincerely hope that the poulace will get it's proverbial head out of its ass and finally realize what's going on.
