See tomorrow’s New York Times for details on which U.S. hotels are at risk and how their security can be circumvented.

If there are any patriots left in the CIA, perhaps they could leak the report on deficiencies in the security at major newspaper publishing sites around the country, especially New York City.

The NYT staff is so dim and/or rabidly anti-security they would probably print it. Verbatim.

US Cities and the libs that run them would be well advised to look to history for lessons on deterring attacks.

During WWII, Japanese leaders were debating an invasion of the US. During those discussions, Adm Yamamoto is reported to have said, “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

If the US is serious about deterring attacks and stopping them if they happen, laws can’t restrict first responders from carrying the right tools. First responders are, by definition, the people on scene when it happens and usually are not police and firefighting professionals.

We need to get back to a rifle behind every blade of grass, a handgun behind every brick.

Politicians want inexpensive, effective response? Easy. Liberalize concealed and open carry laws. Subsidize or sponsor true first response training for citizen volunteers.

“I’m betting this will happen in a “gun free city” like New York or Chicago.”

San Francisco comes to mind.

I wouldnt put it past the motivated, crazy, doped up Islamofascists to target JEWISH-related hospitals back in the USA, barge in there yelling Allahuakhbar, right into the emergency rooms and ICU and start slaughtering people right here on the operating tables. Scumbags would be as low as to consider this.
