Remember the Tylenol tampering in the mid-1980s? That caused near-mass hysteria and only a few people died. Imagine if a few hundred people were to die from tampered food across the country? Nobody would feel safe. Taste-testing would be the fastest growing occupation in America.

Why leave a guy in charge of air safety who has obstructed the arming of our commercial pilots (the one thing that would have most likely stopped the events of 09-11 at the 11th hour)

Of all departing remarks he could have made, why this one!?!

I don't think that's true but if so, good riddance.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Thompson would say this publicly.

What, so he can later say, "I told you so"? That's juvenile. Let's hope his replacement is an adult.

Think about this: thousands get drinking water from central systems. Millions of cadmium batteries are out there. It doesn't take but a gross or so to render a water supply dangerous.

We are not as safe as DHS wishes us to believe.

Agroterrorism is a real threat.Attacks MAY have been launched already - but are hard to spot,and nearly impossible to trace back to a source.

Balderdash. Why didn't they quit last month or last year, if that's true? A sense of propriety?

Thanks for the posit, Tommy. And your "leadership."

Maybe you can follow that chickensh*t statement up with, "We're sitting ducks for ANY attack. For the life of me, I cannot understand what the terrorists are waiting for??"
