Your probability of getting hit by lightning is greater than getting hit by a terrorist. Imagine that. But doomsday believers always outnumber the skeptics.
Meanwhile, the hyper terrorist paranoia fed by the Bush administration has taken on a life of its own. It's a destructive absurdity.
GlueBall, I notice you wiggled out of my attempt to draw you in to a rational debate using facts.
Airliners have been used (successfully) as a weapon of mass destruction. Repeated efforts to continue along the same vein have been detected.
Only half a brain is required to determine that if we let our guard down, cowardly terrorists will find a way to repeat their past successful efforts. (Is there anything here you wish to contradict?)
If we were to actually USE your brilliant thinking, we'd immediately stop screening passengers altogether,
because we are more likely to be struck by lightning than to discover a weapon on a passenger at a security screening.
