Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Yo Chris, > Oh .. and I feel SO much safer now that airplane meals are served with > plastic butter knives ;( You should .. it eliminates a tool that can be used as a deadly weapon. I have responded to MANY domestic disturbances where a family member hurt another family member at the dinner table - with a dull knife or fork. > Let's hear some REAL security measures folks! I could kill you with my > Laptop if I beat you over the head with it as easily if not easier than > with a butter knife ;( You must balance security against the threat and against the will of the population being protected. When security measures get too tight, we will see an increase in disorderly conduct and assaults against those who are taking away the " freedoms " of those being protected. To have perfect security, we must inconvenience the citizens .. Americans have become spoiled and often see such means as restrictions ... it's gonna be a rough road to protect Americans against themselves .. :-9 People don't like change - they might go along with it for awhile as the bitter taste of terrorism is still in their mouths .. but eventually, they will begin to pee and moan. They pee and moan now when a bad guy gets by the system .. what they don't know is that that 99.99% of the incidents that would have occured didn't because the human intelligence systems were funtioning as they should and the bad guys were headed off at the pass. Wanna know why folks don't hear about all this? There are many reasons but two of the most important ones are (1) It would compromise the network intel agencies use to announce curtailing of an act before it went down - it is likely that a mole was " made " as a result and that mole is no longer of use to the system .. but they still gotta protect his butt. (2) Most Americans would not approve of the way the bad guys were headed off at the pass .. they would go into all that " love thy neighbor " and " vengence is mine " crap .. they would say we were barbarians. The fact that hundreds of lives were saved means Jack Schidt to those who think that way. ;-{ Y'all keep smiling, Butch http://www.AV-AT.com > Chris (list mom) > > http://www.alittleolfactory.com > > - > " Chris Ziegler " <chrisziggy1 > > Friday, September 21, 2001 6:58 PM > Planes & Bellies (Was Re: Race For The Cure) > > > I really do like the idea of Sky Martials on the planes, just as I always > > welcomed riding in a NYC subway car with a Cop!
