You have succinctly nailed it. As one terror expert said on one of the TV shows, we react to this idiocy by focusing on CLOTHING. After the shoe bomber, people were asked to remove their shoes. Now we’re demanding that passengers can’t have blankets over them upon descent. Too late, folks. The horse is already out of the barn door.
If we would simply stop with the PC stupidity, which is going to get us all killed, we would catch these morons WAY before they try to board a plane. But if we’re going to ignore major clues handed to us on a silver platter, then I’m afraid many more of these incidents are on the horizon.
“Luv’’ the answer to this problem would get me tossed of this website and into jail. We’re screwed. We’re on our own in every sense of the word. Protect what you can, yourself, your family because no one else is going to do it.
