These false UK liquid bombers .?
Since the passengers are now forced to go through more inspections and the cargo is not inspected then the only reasonable thought I can come up with is this is yet just another move toward taking away more rights leading to marshal law .

If people don't look into this and act to oppose it then we are just becoming more and more like sheep .

A fight may be important for various reasons but I submit that freedom is more important .

If I had to choose living in fear which is no life at all of take my chances of being blown up , then blow me up please .

I have to wonder why planes are still the threat , you would think if there were true terrorists they would not use the same game plan if in fact they did this in the first place on 9/11/2001 .

1. We are the most chickenshit society, ever.
So easily scared because so few of us have ever faced true terror or hardship.

People don't have to die to bring this country to its knees.

A few well-placed, totally inert backpacks set around shopping malls, freeways, etc., on the day after Thanksgiving would blow a huge hole in what is left of the nation's economy.

It's too easy to f**k with America.

3. It's a society of shit the pants people afraid of their own shadow
and ready to sue at all times.

It's hard to imagine that at one time it was routine to cross the US in a stage coach or covered wagon.

4. and that's why i believe that the threat of terrorism is totally overblown
so what if a few planes get blown up on a trans-Atlantic flight. How does that effect me? If the "terrorists" wanted to shut us down, a coordinated attack on shopping malls, movie theaters, ballyards, etc. would be far more effective. People would never leave the house.
