"So much owed by so many to so few"

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."-- Speech made in the House of Commons as the Battle Britain peaked on August 20, 1940. The home front was totally involved in the war because of the Germany bombing raids and Britain was "a whole nation fighting and suffering together." But special gratitude was directed towards the airmen whose prowess and devotion were capable of turning the tide of the war. Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. He worked out the phrase in his mind as he visited the Fighter Command airfields in Southern England.

Now:

"So much paid for by so many because of the few"

For a while, all airlines should be leased to deport all mideastern people back to the mideast. Like a cancer, excise this problem from society.

Even when major terror plots are foiled, the terrorists still have a negative impact on the economy and on the citizens.

Look at the financial and inconvenience impacts of this latest plot on both the UK and US economies/airline passengers.

Even when foiled, the terrorists can claim a partial win.

We need a two-tiered system, one for certified travelers to skate on through, and one for everyone else.
