It’s like a gypsy curse, it only has the power the victim gives it. In no way do I intend to downplay the lives that were actually lost, but even with airline terrorist attacks, it’s still safer to fly than drive, so why don’t we crack down on DUIs as hard as we are on airline travel? I’m guessing it is because most of us can justify, or relate to, the actions of the drunk down the street, much better than we can to the foreign terrorist. The drunk down the street, who drives the Escalade, scares me a hell of a lot more than I’d be if I were on a flight with a terrorist and Mike South holding a Glock! At the pace we’re going, in a few years we’ll show up at the airport, they will inject us with a sedative, and we’ll wake up at our destinations…although, that might not be so bad really.

I remember watching Geraldo’s interview with Manson when it was first broadcast. If you paid attention and were intelligent enough to follow the conversation (not meant as an insult)…Manson made Geraldo look like an idiot. It seems to me the version I watched later had been seriously edited as compared to that first live broadcast. Not defending Manson, but it’s a great example of what fear can do. Only a handful of people died, but his followers left some horrific crime scenes. He wasn’t at the two major crime scenes, yet when he showed up at trial with a swastika carved into his head, he forever scared the world into believing he physically WAS the Devil. Yes, Sharon Tate was pregnant and they wrote stuff on the walls in blood…but Dahmer ATE CHILDREN, and he didn’t have a fraction of the impact on us psychologically that Manson did. Manson knew how to use pain/pleasure to control behavior…and it’s the greatest weapon the terrorists have against us today…the pain of living in constant fear.

Next time I fly, you can be damn sure I’ll be wearing a stainless steel cock ring. Might as well have some fun watching people over react to an emotion other than fear for a change.

I thought there was an undercover cop with a gun and special training on every flight (that is what the media claims, anyway). Also, I wish there were smilies here.

i can’t remember who it was that said if someone simply handed these people an electric guitar and a pin-up poster of raquel welsh as a cavewoman that just might cool them off a little bit. well sh*t porn and music seems to mellow me out so maybe there’s some truth to that.

The notion that a bullet hole in a plane will cause rapid decompression is a Hollywood myth….even a bunch of holes through the skin wouldnt cause a problem.

there are other potential problems such as a bullet taking out wiring or something like that but it would be easily solved by only allowing certain types of bullets or loadsto be carried aboard, probably a certification course as well.

I agree but had this guy detonated his bomb in the lavatory he wouldnt have done much damage, the key to his success would have been his seat number, he was right on top of the main fuel tank.

Personally I think they have already caused us to over react and I think there is a very real possibility that it is intentional, diverting attention to air safety the way they are is the perfect ruse to hit hard elsewhere. Personally I am big on not depending on government for my own safety. I think the wack a mole strategy we are using now is just never going to work.

terrorizing is a tactic. those f*ckers simply want us to overreact. if we do they win.
