I wonder if they got all the terrorists. I wonder if some are working this end in the US. They may still be plotting to target other modes of transportation, etc. I guess we will never know.

U.S. officals haven't made any connection to anyone inside the U.S., so I think if anyone is still on the loose they are either in the U.K. or Pakistan.

A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny.

Bingo!!




stormtruth....which is more important to you? Safety or convenience?
It's obvious what your posts imply, but just answer with one word, please.


It isn't a one word question. Security up to a certain point which we have now passed.


Actually, it was a one word question, safety or convenience? Which is THE most important to you?


It isn't a one word question because you need both. It's like asking someone which do you prefer food or water? You need security and convenience which is why there is a debate on the issue.

This is where you are losing me Stormtruth.. What do you mean you NEED conviniecne? Why do you NEED to bring liquid on a plane.


So you don't have to drink the dirty airplane water or have to nag the stewardess or steward for a drink? Plus, what's next. Books? Are you just supposed to sit there bored on a nine hour flight.

Before you discuss this further.. What is the definition on NEED

It is not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

Same goes for the airlines. Give them a break during these hard times. They are only trying to save your life. Quit griping about what you cannot take on board and be thankful someone trying their best to protect your life.

I stood shoulder to shoulder with a 70 year old woman who lost everything during Katrina for 12 hours in the hot Louisiana sun in the Emergency food stamp line.

And she did not complain once.

Now people keep complaining about little inconviniences meant to try to protect lives. priorites :idea:
