Me "pertrified"? :-D Hardly, I was raised being told "don't believe everything you read in the newspaper." Ever heard of the term MSM (Main Stream Media)? I'm just suggesting that people should not swallow everything hook line and sinker. It amazes me how educated and supposedly enlightened people can fall right in line with agendas without ever questioning them.
I don't know about you but I don't want to do a full body scan at the airport and I especially don't want a cavity search. People should be up in arms over such things as the result of one little incident. But we have a nation of sheeple (or zombies as I often call them. Hell, we used to call them "the ignorant" in TM). A friend who does a lot of business travel out of the country is dreading these draconian measures. It's like they don't want us to travel at all as we'll see how the other half lives and in some cases better than the "greatest country on earth." There are two kinds of opinions one finds online and especially here on FFL. One is what people really think and the other is a proforma ( how they want to appear to people even if it is not their real thoughts). I speak my mind and it does not often go over well. But I don't care. I've been doing that all my life. Line on water. I would say the interests of Wall Street and probably the MIC trump anything Obama wanted to do for the people. Should 1% of the population really run things because they are the wealthiest? I say not! They got there by hook or by crook and probably much of the time the latter (they pay attorneys to cover their tracks). It is up to the people to allow this to continue or say "enough already!" seekliberation wrote: > I saw it on numerous news broadcasts that PETN is what the guy had on him. > > You sound rather petrified here.
