Did you watch the video? God save us from those who say they want to save us.
There’s obviously way too much money in the Homeland Security budget when they’re talking about putting transponders in canoes and kayaks.
The world is upside down .
The REAL threat is all those Americans that own boats or fly on aircraft, not the millions of overstayed visa we can not tract or the millions flowing over our porous border.
Soon every citizen will have to put a government camera in their home so big brother can watch us.
Personally I am sick of this !
What if it’s a plane with pontoons, then what?????
Terrorism isn’t about things.
It’s about people. Evil people.
Counter terrorism is not an exercise in stopping things, darn near anything can be used to create mayhem.
It is an exercise in awareness, in knowing who the enemy really is and what he or she really looks like. It is an exercise in seeing, evaluating and reporting precursors to events.
Why else did the the flying imams try to chill citizen reporting of suspicious behavior?
They do hate us for that, but that is ironic. We shouldn’t let them win in this way. Can’t we be free and without a jihadist threat?
I’m not entirely sure that’s possible sadly.
9/11 happened here, not in Switzerland or Sweden. Freedom has nothing to do with it.
Being a Great Lakes boater, I must tell you how ridiculous the US/Canadian border is in relation to your suggestion. We frequently, and know many other boaters, who make the trip North to Canada via Lake Erie into the Detroit river. Upon arrival at any marina in Canada, one simply calls in to customs, gives registration numbers, boat name, etc, how many persons O/B and how long will the boat be in Canadian waters. It gets more laughable when a boat returns to the US, it simply returns.......no call-ins, nothing. Incidentally, we have never been check-boarded by the Coast Guard nor do we know of anyone who ever has. We simply re-enter the US mid way through Lake Erie. The Muslim population in Windsor, Canada, across the river from Detroit is about 40% and be assured they are not friendly.
Recreational boats piloted by Middle Eastern Muslim terrorists are a Homeland Security threat. Should be easy to spot those if Homeland Security is interested in looking.
Mind boggling, isn't it?
What's worse, maybe I can understand Joe Schmo in Kokomo not getting it, but the geniuses in Congress simply have to understand that it is only by the grace of God, and the courage of the passengers on flight 93, that they personally weren't murdered on 9/11.
And they still do all they can to help militant islam. Huh? Hello???
The Founding Dads did an incredible job in forging a constitution. They anticipated and countered every threat to Liberty they could, and it was enough for centuries.
Perhaps it will be enough for a few more centuries, or so I hope.
License

Since when did boating or travelling by water become illegal in the United States?
So you see a lot of Arleigh Burke class destroyers in your local lake do you? Some people need to get a life and quit listening to the scare tactics. After 6 years of this nonsense, I imagine there's a portion of people that believe 24 is real too....
It looks like someone has been reading Dragon's Fury.

The plane into building idea was floating around in the sixties and was reported to Nixon in 1969 in an investigation into the terror underground. Someone tried to hijack a plane out of Baltimore (I think) in the early seventies with the aim of hitting the WH.
Nuke power plants and large dams are our biggest vulnerabilities. If Lake Powell “surged” to the Gulf of CA I imagine it would take Mead along with it. Maybe we should lower the impounded water levels a bit until Islamofascism is wiped out.
You know what I'd do if I were you? Get your whole family together, go back down in that shelter you built for Y2K and stay there. Someone may or may be along in a possibly reasonable amount of time to let you know it's all over (depending on if anybody remembers to drop by).
Sheesh, what if, what if, what if? What if the terrorists used the Goodyear blimp to attack a football game?!? Oh wait that's been done hasn't it? OMG, Hollywood was giving terrorists ideas 30 years ago!!
you mean ammonium nitrate don't you? Urea is neither an explosive nor an oxidizer. Second if you blew up your boat boat on the top of the dam, then you'd have a loud noise and the dam might lose some guard rails - the dam would be unhurt. Blowing up a dam is a very difficult proposition becasue they are very large tough structures - this was tried during WWII and it took very special bombs and delivery systems to damage a dam.
This is just another load of alarmist crap from the government to scare the bedwetting public into giving up more freedom.
