Insulting is American citizens being blown away by 223 rounds in elementary schools, movie theatres, malls, by other US citizens and we do nothing about it because of the 2nd amendment.

But some ISIS people commit attacks in Europe, and we are willing to suspend the US constitution for those who look brown and/or are Muslim.

Sound about right?

I'm more worried about food poisoning, heart disease and car accidents. But then again, I understand statistics.

It's the economic impact of a terrorist attack, and the public's irrational reaction that worries me.
Agree I think? More difficult every day accepting each person as they come, a unique example of the species; going to give it a go just a little longer…

Gotta like how terror attack is the thing we American citizens are scared of. Have you not seen how statistically, we are far more likely to be killed by a crazy/mental sick white Anglosaxan individual in a gun rampage than we are a radical Islamic terrorist on US soil?

But I don't hear any bans for guns or checks for mental health in order to get a gun. I do, however, hear bans on Muslims due to the fear of ISIS and terrorist attacks.

Because, facts. Or Trump. Or something.
You forgot the shoe and underwear bombers as well.

Eventually we're all going to have to start calling a spade a spade. The threats posed to air travel aren't coming from grandma, but they have all had a common denominator.

I'm sure the writer of this article doesn't have an agenda. Billy Bob from South Carolina hasn't been trying to take down airliners. The Israelis don't shake down every guy with a beard and turbin either. Try doing some research on what they actually do.

Shoe and underwear bomber? How many dead there?



So what is the spade? Brown people? Muslims? How do you find out if one is a Muslim? Just ask them? What about the white-looking Muslims, how would you know they were Muslim? And about all the non-Muslims being recruited by ISIS online that are either coming to Iraq/Syria to fight or carrying out plans/attacks in their own nation?

I gotta admit, Guy, that is the dumbest bit of hyperbolic spew I've read in a while. You've obviously been practicing.

If we knew the "Spade" we wouldn't have this post.

It's more about knowing what, when and to whom to ask appropriate vetting questions, such as used in the part by El Al's security protocols. El Al Officers are highly trained vs. our "7/11 grade" Blue Suit screeners.

El Al hasn't had an in-flight take over incident since 1968.

The FAMS are a good concept and step in the right direction, but lack support and funding.

The problem also lies with lack of high quality, trained LAW ENFORCEMENT Screening Officers, (currently TSA Screeners can't make a single arrest, yet 400 Screeners have been arrested for mostly on-duty crimes and/or security related laspes).

But El Al's highly trained security system and protocol HAVE PREVENTED numerous incidents since 1968 SOME PREVENTATIVE INTERDICTIONS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL SOLELY BY ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION(S) AT THE RIGHT TIME. They continiue to find the "Spade."

The U.S. has several capable law enforcement units, that could fully secure both passenger and cargo hubs. Some were deployed and secured numerous aviation hubs on 09/11.

But then the talking heads wanted to build a new fiefdom, the TSA.

They'll never admit failure until the Agency is in such disarray, with multiple failures, Congress has to disband it, (as Congress disbanded the INS in 2002).

Here's an article from 2003. You'd think we'd get it right by now, using El Al's protocols as an base/example, as well as revamping the FAMS.

El Al's Security Vs. the U.S. Approach - Bloomberg Business

From the article of 2003......U.S. airports are certainly more secure. But security experts warn they're not yet secure enough to prevent another attack. The reason: The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has focused on reactive countermeasures, rather than strategic deterrence and risk management......

In Israel, almost nothing slips through, Yeffet claims. And if it does, screeners are fired on the spot. The TSA wouldn't comment on its hiring-and-firing policies. But Yeffet says TSA figures revealed that in 2002, U.S. screeners failed to identify 70% of knives and 60% of false explosives put on the X-Ray belt by testers. "Routine is the enemy of good security," says Yeffet. "The day you think nothing will happen, something will."
TSA Fails 95 Percent Of Airport Security Tests Conducted By Homeland Security: Report

and 13 years later.... From a report in June of 2015...TSA Fails 95 Percent Of Airport Security Tests Conducted By Homeland Security: Report
In one test an undercover agent was stopped after setting off an alarm at a magnetometer, but TSA screeners failed to detect a fake explosive device that was taped to his back during a follow-on pat down.

Officials would not divulge the exact time period of the testing other than to say it concluded recently.....
There's no cure for ineptness.

Yes, you ask questions. You can find out a hell of a lot regardless of answers just buy asking questions. It also doesn't matter if anyone was killed by those two attempted attacks the potential was there. The threat to our lives is small, but the threat to our livelihoods is huge. Our security is a joke and if you can't see that then there's no sense in arguing with you.
