Obama has an opportunity to win over a lot of the public if he were to overhaul the stupid security procedures we have. Dump stuff like the shoe thing which is pure "security theater." And purge thousands off the no fly list who don't belong there. Otherwise like Dixon maybe we ought to be shorting airline stocks. Given that Obama's speech on Afghanistan sounded more like Bush warmed over I'm not holding my breathe. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
