First it was the Portland tree lighting. Yesterday another knucklehead in Maryland was busted.
Two weeks and two would-be bombers stopped cold.

That's more in two weeks than TSA has stopped since its inception.

Cops (broadly speaking) doing their jobs. No pat downs except the perp as he was getting busted. No drama. Just good cop work.

1. In the end, why send a soldier to do a cop's job?

2. How do you know potential perps aren't targeting airplanes
because of airport security?

3. Millions of people get frisked each year. So far, no plots have been uncovered
Had they been uncovered, we'd know by the crowing.

And no, you don't know any more than I do about what is or isn't. We both can go only on what we think is the case.

4. How do you know they aren't forgoing plots involving planes
because of the effort that would be involved?
