I’m thinking this probably WAS a test run by the Nigerian on behalf of Al Quaida.

If I owned an airline I would install pigskin seats and require passengers to pet a baby pig before embarking and all meals include pork. Might lose Jewish and Peta passengers but I would feel safer.

Look at Myth 1. Why the h.e. double toothpicks do we allow these people to be unionized?

Overseas passengers will be restricted to only one carry-on item

Delta charges 15 dollars for each checked bag. They must have had a hand in writing this rule.

Last time I flew out of Newark, some guy named Mohammed checked my bag at the curb.

“I’d like to take the Christian holiday moment to thank all those cowardly US muslims who refuse to condemn and fight islamic terrorism. Thanks for making me and my family wait in long lines to have our carry-ons scanned by high school dropouts who are sleep-walking through their shifts.

Thanks for making us take off our shoes and walk barefoot around filthy airport terminals. And of course I’d like to thank muslims everywhere for being forced to be ‘wanded’ and ‘frisked’ like a criminal before being allowed to board a flight. In addition, I can now thank them for a host of new idiotic rules .....”

Wow, talk about deflection. Blame our government who is imposing these idiotic rules. If you’re that inconvenienced, start up a group that promotes proper profiling.

Gee, that's smart -- considering the terrorist didn't have the bomb in his carry on. These are faux, feel good measures designed to inconvence the rest of us. He bought a one way ticket with cash and his father flagged him last month. Amsterdeam said the U.S. clear the passenger list. This is a security failure by this adminisration. I don't care how they spin it.

“...either that or Mandatory CARRY on all Airlines.”

Yea, that’ll help...200+ passengers blowing holes in a pressurized fuselage.

He came from Lagos, Nigeria. On a US visa, issued by Hillary’s Department AFTER his father warned said department. Also, the Brits knew about it, they denied him a visa. So then he transfers in Amsterdam onto a US carrier. He should have been on a no-fly list after Dad told Hillary’s people, he’s got a one way ticket, no baggage, paid cash, he’s got a Muslim last name.

I have so many questions I don’t know where to start. One thing is for sure, Janet Whats-her-face must be run off.

An ARMED airplane is a POLITE AIRPLANE... besides you idiot... a bullet from a 45 will thru the fuselage will only do one thing... slightly increase the work from the air compressor...

Fall for LIBERAL BS... you will DIE from LIBERAL BS

OH NO! we can’t profile...it will tamper with someone’s civil rights. How about skeletal screening. No more bombs between the legs, no more syringes. I’m all for not allowing anyone to carry luggage into the passenger section. I put up with those for years and I feel sorry for the flight attendents who are doing it today. Money clips and passports are all one needs in the cabin.

I get weekly union news updates in emails. I had a difficult time keeping quiet with all the Bush bashing the union did...in just about every email during those years.

Apparently Obama is doing everything right. s/

“Probably involves pat downs of WWII vets and little old ladies. Just as long as we don’t (gasp) PROFILE.”

That’s not true! It only involves pat-downs and body-cavity searches of WHEELCHAIR-BOUND WWII Vets. The Little Old Ladies just get felt-up and intimidated.

"Of course, many of those conservatives, who now support Obama’s foreign policy of Bush II, will not object to these new invasions of civil liberty."

You win the most stupid post of the week award, pick it up at the TSA gate

There is nothing in these new rules that changes his ability to set off a bomb.

Overseas passengers will be restricted to only one carry-on item...

It was also pointed out that this guy only had one carry-on bag and no checked luggage.

"After all the hard work it took the muslims within the TSA to get the muslim terrorists and their explosives through the screening process and on the aircraft the TSA just cannot have these meddling civilians randomly jumping up and interrupting their work.

this explains Napolitanos comment of how "the system worked"
