Shit...if you wanted to bring down a plane there's a million ways

[Taverner]

So restricting liquids in bottles isn't going to do squat.

If you want to bring down a plane, why not pop open the emergency escape hatch during takeoff? That will cause an air pressure change that will send the plane into a tailspin.

And what about that solid Lithium? There's enough water on a plane to make that stuff unstable.

So don't tell me all these encroachments on our freedoms is going to protect us.

1. Yup. All these new restrictions are designed to get voters pissed off at

the terrorists, when they should really be getting PO'ed at the real culprits in all this, Bush and his minions.

[elehhhhna]

2. Please. Most airports have nothing but chain link around their perimiter

Who needs to actually get ON a plane to do damage?

[elehhhhna]

3. One could also crash a small plane into virually anything. CONS

haven't done JACK about security.

6. Yes...that I just don't get

The Brits stop a Muslim terror plot WITH THE HELP OF THE BRITISH MUSLIM COMMUNITY, yet in the US it's all the work of our brave fearless moron.

5. and one time, at band camp I can't tell you what I did with a ping pong

ball.

Just pop that sucker out and light it. Now whatcha gonna do TSA? Oh yes, probe the foreigners and illegal aliens first

Let the airport anal probes begin!



P.S. I'll bet Rush Limbaugh could probably fit several mayo jars of oxycontin plus a sock full of viagra up there if he thought about it.

edited to add: I'm just kidding about the ping pong ball. I've never been to band camp.

7. Republicans think that Americans are frightened bed-wetters.

But, I guess that's their base. Gotta get them mobilized.

8. I've spent the majority of my life under the threat of...

Mutually Assured Destruction. Yet, I didn't start losing my Civil Rights until
a few Mock Mullahs decided to start putting bombs in pop bottles.

This is sick...

I have a question.

I was watching a documentary last night about all of the fabulous buildings in
the Middle East. How come nobody is flying planes into them? If the goal of these
'fundamentalist' is to cleanse the world of sin why didn't they start, there?
