Yes, you're right. Just because someone is stupid doesn't mean he is a bad person. But the point is: if we want to catch terrorists shouldn't we hire people in a little bit higher "caste" in life? I mean after 9-11 we had thousands of ex-military, ex-cops and other professionals who volunteered to do the job for free. They were turned down in favor of the usual affirmative-action, political patronage hires.
That's why I say we should get the government out of it.
No problem here. But the bitching and whining and bellyachin' will be the same. You know that... right?
We're a culture of whiners. A trip across country that took our forefathers six ~months~ to do, now takes six hours. If that six hours becomes ten... we whine about how gruelling the trip was and now we'll never fly that airline again... yadda yadda yadda...
