Not to worry. The ACLU is hot on their way to do her justice. Oh, there goes another pig flying by.
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the story, my brother regularly dines out on it. I'm not sure if it's relevant in this case as it involves a situation where the security staff obviously messed up. I see from your other reports that you have a bit of knowledge of this business, that's why I respect your opinions on what appears to me to be a useless waste of time which merely gives the terrorists what they so desire, a sense of insecurity and fear among free people.
I'm coming around to the opinion that there should be the right to bear firearms aboard planes. Okay I accept that some reasonable limitations should be placed on the type of ammo and whether the bearer should be allowed to avail of the duty free but I'd sooner trust ordinary armed American citizens to sort out an actual problem on a plane than rely on some federal agency to try and prevent the problem arising in the first place.
You can say that again!

"I didn't see term "butter knife" in the article. "
Action Bill in post number seven was the first on this thread to use the term 'butter' knife. It does not appear in the article where it is referred to as a 'bread' knife.
My concern is that if that's the way they're treating American citizens I would hate to think how they're treating other people. It's crazy."
Actually, I would hope they were treating "other people"
a hell of a lot worse.
I have one of those I ordered from L.L. Bean years ago; it has a wooden handle and it will cut your heart out.
This is the sort of thing that explains why Kerry almost won. Bush has played along with political correctness and has permitted a liberal, PC Rat, Norm Mineta, to gum up our national security with liberal myths, like: everyone has an equal chance of being a terrorist.
Works for me.
"And you're considered a terrorist."
Lets not get crazy, boys!
Your problem is that you are a fascist who cannot see subtle distinctions. A teacher whose student has secreted a butter knife is not an evil person, but your final solution to our terrorist problem - if WE actually have a terrorist problem - is to throw her, throw all of them, in the slammer. Well let me tell you. Whatever side of a problem you are on, I am going to join the other side because your solution is pure unadulterated evil. That is the result of all extremists like yourself who cannot see subtle distinctions between right and wrong. Like all fascists, you cloak yourself in a blanket of morality to perpetrate the gravest injustices known to mankind.
Of course, you are too dumb even to know it, which is the other reason that fasists are so evil. They all think they are twice as smart as they really are.
Frankly, from everything I see OUR terrorist problem is blown way out of proportion. We are dealing effectively with the problem by containing the problem in the Middle East. I see nothing that requires that we trample on the civil rights of Americans, particular nothing of a magnitude to turn our society over to evil little fear mongers like yourself.
Marching in lockstep toward a better tomorrow. Just wait until the Dems get ahold of this...
In a thread filled with prize postings yours will surely rate an honorable mention. The woman must be guilty. How dare she protetest her innocence. How dare she. If she were a good citizen she would just follow along to the gas chambers like any good muslim-hating American.
Surely you are not that dumb.
Before posting any more on FR Get out your copy of the Constitution, read it and get back to us. This is a site for Constitutional conservatives.
That is not how the system run for We The People works. The system is required to prove her guilt to a jury of her peers, and if I am on the jury, the jury can be sequestered for the rest of its natural life - she will not be found guilty - not because a student concealed a butter knife.
I hope it occurs to some people here why 'the greatest of all of America's attorneys general" is no longer at his post. We lower the flag in honor of those who have served the country. We lower constitutional standards for no man, including John Ashcroft, no matter how many morning prayer sessions he holds.
Wow. Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
Drink some coffee, eat some fiber, re-read my posts, and try again.
I don't like zero-tolerance policies-- I think they're stupid. They accomplish two things: they remove the discretion from the front-line people, and they teach people who are trying to circumvent the system that, as soon as they get around the primary security hurdle, the front-line people will be exercising no ingenuity apart from the script they're using, and will likely fail to catch them as a result.
I also don't like it when people blindly say: The system sucks! It won't work! Bush is at fault! The TSA sucks! It should be dismantled! ...without positing a possible solution to the problem.
I also don't like it when people jump on a bandwagon and blindly mis-attribute the problem to another cause. In this case the administration or the beauracracy as opposed to a Liberal P.C. mindset that forces us into these retarded zero-policy programs.
I also dislike hypocrisy. I found it deliciously ironic that a school principal found herself the victim of a zero-tolerance policy when, all across America, it's exactly this type of mindless policy that school administrators are ramming down our kids' throats.
In short, sir, either your definition of facism is wrong, or you didn't take the time to actually discern my position based on the multiple examples of it in this and other threads I've contributed to over the past few years. Either way, your ignorance puts you much farther down the facist road than I.
Have a great day!
What do you think the mechanism of tyranny is? It is always some power drunk functionary too stupid to underdstand why he is doing what he is doing.
