Islam.
Yep thanks to Muslim terror, we see security checkpoints at Disneyland, at ball games, for example. It’s so annoying, you can set off a metal detector, because you have loose change.
We can thank bin Laden and his boys for much of this.
How smart is it to announce to the world that it isn’t totally secure yet?
“Hey, kids! Let’s go to the zoo and we’ll all get treated to a cavity search!”
I had a great uncle who worked in DC out of university in the 1930’s and 40’s. Federal Maritime Commission and Dept. of Navy
Up until WWII, he said you could regularly see the VP and cabinet secretaries out at lunch at local taverns.
“If we change the way we live EVEN A LITTLE, the terrorists win..!”
Remember when they’d admonish that..?
Yet EVERYTHING has changed.
Best is the Japanese way:
Keep the terrorists OUT.
Its simple.
I remember a story where someone broke into this zoo and stole a gaboon viper then proceeded to get on a bus with it.
This was well before terrorism. Zoos have to deal with PETA nuts, idiots like the one above, and “hold my beer” people all the time. Not to mention wily teenagers who um, er, thought it was fun to scale the fences and wake up all the loud birds at night at another zoo.
All this money and stress because we keep letting in muslims. There’s a cheaper and safer solution.
Maybe they looked around Venezuela and considered that, the next time Democrats hold power, people will start trying to eat their animals.
