Yeah, security has been in someone’ LAP — it’s obvious becasue they sure as hell haven’t been paying any attention to security LAPSES. Capisce?

More like going ‘round and ‘round with the SOS.

This is an issue for the coming election:

Let’s put people in office that make travel more difficult for terrorists, not for Americans.

We're regulating objects. We're not profiling people involved in terrorism.

Weren’t explosives in the butt already tried against the Saudi head of security a month or two ago?

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

A pun.

This security stuff may help bring back the Trans Oceanic passenger ships.

[SJSAMPLE]

Laps.
Like swimming laps in the pool.

Great exercise, but isn’t the same as a race.

Just like security.
Makes us feel better but, apparently, accomplishes nothing.

Laps in Security

A lapping security dog in a guards lap?

TSA - planning tomorrow for yesterday’s terror attack.

We're not profiling people involved in terrorism.

We should be scrutinizing Muslims.

Even peace loving Muslims who fly commercially would have to appreciate this!

The arithmetic is very simple: Can we regulate for all faster than they can adapt for some?

This is spot on. They are playing with us. Breast implant bomb? Full breast examinations before boarding (before my fellow FReepers post that they will volunteer for that job, remember Helen Thomas and Rosie O'Donnell fly too). And then there are other orifices that could possibly conceal an explosive...yikes. Types of clothing...electronics...where does it end? The destruction of commercial air travel, which will be a win for islamic terrorists as they see air travel as a sign of modernity and freedom, the same way they wiewed the World Trade Center.

The West is reacting, where El Al, for example, is proactive. They...gasp, shudder...profile! They use not only printed information, but visual information. Ever see the body language lady on O'Reilly's show? I'm not sure how accurate she is, but you can bet El Al has people who are.
