we just had the 25 year anniversary of Lockerbie. that bomb not only killed all on board the plane, but a lot of people on the ground. no need to hijack.
and we now have a lot of suicide bombers, see just the last two days on Volgograd.
have the Israelis scaled down their anti-bomb detection measures? no? then neither should the west.
i fly a lot, internationally. i do not mind the checkpoints. i mind dying pre-maturely in a fireball.
- chrismcb 13y agoDo you drive? Walk across a street? Before 9/11 what were the odds that you would die pre-maturely in a fireball (an airplane fireball?) I don't know the number but it was so small to be virtually 0. You were much more likely to die in a myriad of other ways. Probably more likely to get shot to death at a movie theater. Yet that probably doesn't stop you from going to the movie theater... And yet you don't mind being treated like criminal at the airport.
