It’s amazing that this is the first time since 9/11 we were caught off guard. It shows we’re making the same mistakes we made before 9/11.
‘ooo terrorists’ ‘ooo hero saves the day’ SHUT it
Another inside job ha ha ha you people are so gullible
exactly.
Don’t you think that terrorists know that we drop our guard down when our little old grannies in a shawl walks up to a security check to pass through?
Drug runners have known this for years and they specifically plant drug packages inside motor homes and RV’s driven by innocent people in their 70’s and 80’s.
This is why they ask you at the airport if you were given any packages by someone you didn’t know, to be brought into the country.
exactly correct. A plant from the inside to make people more afraid so that we will ask for more liberty threatening security measures sothat the CIA and the FBI can monitor our conversations “legally’ . As opposed to the way that they are doing it now, without authorization.
I can walk into a Staples store and walk out with 10 brain piercing, innocuous looking, ordinary pieces of wood with a graphite mixture inside of them that can kill faster than a speeding bullet for the low cost of $1. 00.
You don’t need a Rambo type knife to kill someone, just a box cutter with a razor-sharp blade and apply it to the victims femoral artery and cut it.
He or she will bleed out in a matter of a few minutes.
Just my humble opinion and nothing more.
And it really worked well for Abraham Lincoln, didn’t it?
Talk about security incompetence.
How did Booth even get behind Lincoln in the first place?
how did he get past the ‘guards” at the door to Lincoln’s box?
You cannot make anything totally secure, especially today with ceramic guns and knives and letter bombs, remote controlled detonators, drone aircraft laden with explosives, umbrellas with poison balls in them, high power lasers, collapsible batons, and the everyday ordinary 2H pencil.
there is no practical reason to even fly on a plane today.
We have video link-ups and conference calling with video feeds.
Only criminals need to meet face to face to choreograph their nefarious deeds together.
Stay at home. Avoid the airport. Live longer.
beware of truthers
@mcphantic80 you wish. it is what it is.
They should have full body scans on people, they should search every passenger on planes to and from the U. S. Perhaps this is going to far but I have a feeling they might make us strip off our clothes in a private room befroe we board the plane and make us wear special scrubs. Sounds crazy but it would keep us safe
ur retarded honestly
Whenever there is a successful or near-successful terrorist attack like this, the current secretary of homeland security should be fired for incompetence and replaced. Just keep up that cycle until you find someone that can do their job, just like Abraham Lincoln did.
There have been a half dozen attacks since Obama took office. You may now see he is mere mortal and the Government isn’t the one that is going to save the U. S. . It’s the people.
connection or not, once they pump the bastard for information they might as well put a bullet through his brain.
that man is not a terrorist. it’s an inside job from the CIA. they probably set him up to appear as a terrorist.
The pt of the jewish old lady was that we are wasting time searching highly unlikely terrorist targets just so we don’t profile. A process in only effective if the rules are kept simple. When you start complicating it you open the oppty for gaps in the process.
He wasnt checked in the US but in Amsterdam. Dont get the jewish lady bit but if Muslims need checking then so do Jews and for sure Columbians.
Loyalty to the NATION is above all else. If you cannot accept that then get the fuck out.
Lets just add more rules and regulations to make the process more inconvenient , useless and hire more ppl to execute it instead of taking a “common” sense approach to the problem. If you’re white then its your duty to fight skin heads. If your black then its your duty to out gangstas. If your chinese then its your duty to expose slave labor. So if you’re muslim then its your duty to NOT grant asylum to these terrorists and denounce them in public every chance you get.
Look. His father warned the U. S. gov about his son. All the terrorists have been muslim. WHy the Fuck don’t we start profiling muslims already. I mean boo hoo hoo if they have to queue up in a different line. My parents were colombian and we had to do it and I am not losing sleep over those incidents!. Fuck already. The guy doesn’t have luggage, buys his ticket in cash and yet he’s not stopped???!!! Sure stop the 80 yr old jewish lady cause she might be a threat. What is wrong with the U. S. ???
Do your own Profiling.
Refuse to fly on airlines that allow Muslims on board their planes.
@indiesixtynine
Ever see the movie American Carol?
“It’s the damned Christian bombers again! ”
Come on dude. . . get a grip.
Take a clue from the f%$^tards that do this kind of thing and please leave god out of it.
Dont forget 9/11 2001 is an inside job pass it on!
