I say pat downs for everyone. You don't like it, don't fly.

How's that going to help with liquid explosives like nitroglycerin? One could easily camel back them around gut or thighs to feel just like flesh. Then there are hundreds of softer targets I won't get into but just think of all places lots of people gather unarmed and you can get a pretty good idea of more people than an airplane carries. I guess were lucky they have hardons for airplanes and tall buildings because there are way softer targets which could do way more damage and there is nothing you can do to stop someone who is willing to die. We need to start with profiling and reconsider our immigration quotas instead of harassing Americans.

Seriously asshole go fucking end yourself. Merry Christmas you dumb shit. All I said was this was a amateur attempt that was bound to fail anyway. I refuse to give into the terrorist hype machine and allow things like the Patriot Act to be passed out of fear without any rational thought or analysis of it. I was getting at the fact the media will tell us this was an Al Qaeda agent when we don't know that but by the looks of it its a wanna be thug. We shouldn't allow ourselves to go batshit crazy over this type of stuff and pass legislation that violates our civil liberties.

Now go raise the alert level from turquoise to amber dumbfuck.

Merry Christmas!
It is now a known fact that this was an attempted terrorist act inspired if not supported by al quaida. We can all be thankful pasengers reacted quickly and prevented a MAJOR LOST OF LIFE.
As I said in my previous answer to you we should raise our alertness level and take appropriate steps to prevent such events from occurring again. From what I read from you, you most likely believe 911 was an inside job anyway so there is no talking sense into you.
Merry Xmas and DIAWC

Seeing how some here are having panic attacks, I declare this failed terrorism is successful.

Exactly, unbelievable the bitch fest that is breaking out in this thread. This was obviously a well coordinated and well executed operation despite a one off lucky break!!!!

Please, this guy is such a retard and the powers that be are only going to use this to pass more big brother legislation.

Can't fix stupid.

I am fairly sure 9/11 was perpetrated by the Canadian government!

Thread locked because it has turned into a P&N type flamefest. I am also referring the thread to a moderator discussion, because my first reaction is to vacation about a half dozen people in this thread for personal attacks. If that half dozen of you are lucky, the other senior moderators won't be in agreement with me. Such attacks may be overlooked to some degree in P&N, but this isn't P&N. Thread not moved because there's already such a thread in P&N. -DrPizza
