THis is why the so called terrorist are laughing their asses off at we stupid Americans.
So one guy catches his pants on fire on a plane, and we bumbling idiots
start running in circles in fear (i.e. the gov, the press, every nutcase politician).This terrorist was probably not in the terrorist loop at all, so to say, but just some wanta-bee headline making nutcase. I doubt he had any real terrorist based backing, despite what the press is reporting (as if they ever get their facts straight). This mentally ill firebug was more of a rogue nutcase, you know... like Sarah Palin, living in his own little world. But never the less, the US gov panics and runs amuck setting up new procedures that in the end will not catch the next wanta-bee terrorist anyway. The gov is going to scan your weewee at the airport to make you feel safer. They will spend billions on stuff that wouldn’t even stop your grandmother from pulling off the next airport stunt.
That roaring sound you hear is not some terrorist setting his pants on fire, it’s the real threat laughing their asses off at our bumbling attempts to fight terrorism. The problem is interior, not exterior. Before 9/11 the CIA and the FBI went at each other like dogs and cats. Constantly trying to out-do the other and NEVER co operating. Pretty much like your average dysfunctional family on reality TV. Since 9/11, nothing has really changed in that respect. And this latest incident made that all too clear. The CIA and FBI are still Jerry Springer dysfunctional and the laughing stock of terrorist everywhere. And the government, regardless of republican or democrat controlled, remains clueless to the real issue and solution. This is all too absurd. We were clueless and 9/11 happened. We will remain clueless when the next real attach takes place. And you can thank the bumbling US government security sector for missing the next true threat. If its right under their nose, they will never catch it.
