I wonder how much the handcuffs will cost on each flight?
Airlines will be passing out free condoms as well?
Lets really search granny and the kids now. But that guy with a prayer rug, go right ahead.
Rahm Immanuel “leave no crisis to waste, to do the things that normally couldn’t be accomplished”.
How about tightening travel for Americans to make us less mobile. A gentle restriction on one of the freedoms we really have taken for granted........
Checkpoints at trains will be next.
And they wonder why the airline industry is going down the tubes.
If the terrorists were “Branch Dividians” and David Korest was with us, does anyone think Janet and Dems would come up with this solution?
Between restrictions and cap & trade, no one will be flying soon.
This isn’t a threat to be dealt with by broadcast universal denial of liberty and freedom. The terrorist already succeeded because he has successfully cost his adversary millions of dollars of attention and distraction from anything else and refocused it upon himself and whatever his association.
He was willing to die, but got the infamy he desired and continued to live with a few third degree burns. (Why does Obama at the beach come to mind?)
Number of people dead from an airplane incident this year: 0
Number of people dead from car accidents this year: tens of thousands
Number of people dead from cancer this year: hundreds of thousands
Number of people inconvenienced because of stupid airline regulations: millions
Number of people losing their livelihood due to reduced tourism to the USA: probably tens of thousands
Number of people failing to comprehend basic statistics: hundreds of millions
One of our youngest male relatives, who can handle himself very well in emergencies, has to fly a lot.
As I have posted in the past few weeks, he and similiar young relatives and friends, who fly a lot, have noticed that the flight attendants are repositioning them on aisle seats, by the exits and even moving them up to first class for free. This was a common occurrence for them when flying post 9/11. After this event, this will be even more common.
This guy has a great sense of humor. He said after the liberals in charge of TSA add new requirements for the Christians and Jews and veterans flying. His new flying outfit would be an all cotton terry cloth robe without the belt. Underwear would be banned and he would be barefoot. He would have a passport/id holder hanging in front covering a critical area. His tickets would be in a cloth holder covering his butt crack. He would probably have to be barefoot wearing a simple pair of foot thongs.
He has several flights scheduled after New Years, so he has some time to get his new flying outfit ready.
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.
The #1 hero of the “War On Terror” was the stewardess (uh ... “Flight Attendant”) who miraculously saved the day with the shoe bomber. But, she wasn't a government stooge, so we should pay no attention. Only government can protect us! Remove your shoes!
BTW - if either of those bombs had gone off, it would have been “pilot error”. What did they call it in Queens?
As we all know thanks to being told so by successive administrations — Islam is the religion of peace*. Thanks to the actions of one brave passenger who fully understood that he had nothing to lose this incident remained a small one.
Thanks to PC and the chronic disease known as Cranial Anal Inversion Syndrome among most alleged American leaders all the way up to the White Mosque er House, this small incident and all like it in the future will disappear down the Orwellian memory hole.
I suspect the primary cause of the failure to put this guy and only God knows how many more — on a no-fly list is that the folks down the food chain and on the ground who are SUPPOSED to keep these MUSLIM idiots off commercial flights are severely conflicted. On one hand, they are tasked to keep flying safe. On the other, theyve all had multiple memos and sensitivity sessions stressing that they MUST NOT PROFILE but be especially alert to the feelings of Muslims. Any actions taken against them MUST be fully justified and documented. The vernacular expression dealing with that is CYA. And so they do — while the rest of us die or, thanks to the actions of a passenger, have a very close call on approach to Detroit.
Compounding the problem is that this particular miscreant was not only a Muslim but a black guy from Nigeria. And the American president is _________ (fill in the correct color) and, having been born to a Muslim father and raised in a Muslim country, sympathetic to the religion of _________. (fill in the appropriate term).
The response to this near-tragedy? Fatherland Security now keeps passengers in their seats for the last hour of the trip!! Great! I suspect sales of Depends will soon spike. Now these folks will die at 35,000 feet and the wreckage will be strewn over hundreds of square miles making it virtually impossible to determine if it WAS an act of mass murder by (select one) an angry Norwegian, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, a Muslim nutcase. A few more of these and the air travel industry will be COMPLETELY dead.
By their INACTION and persistence in their denial that we are at war with a determined and dedicated enemy, these alleged leaders have 100% guaranteed that the next one will NOT be small.
* BTW, peace has two definitions:
1. The absence of conflict or war.
2. The ABSENCE or SUPPRESSION OF RESISTANCE TO SOME FORCE, POLICY, IDEOLOGY or POLITICAL SYSTEM, etc. WITH WHICH ONE HAS AN ABIDING DISAGREEMENT WHICH ONE WOULD OTHERWISE ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT TO THE POINT OF TAKING UP ARMS.
Make certain all the cows are out of the barn before you secure the door.
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.
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 sure do wish they’d catch somebody trying to blow up an airplane with a bra bomb, because then TSA would implement new security rules so that after making everyone take off their shoes at the screening station, the TSA would make all of the women take off ......
