That’s right Airbubba, we’re also asking for details of how the FAA policy of flight deck doors being locked prevented the 9-11 atrocities? But guess what, no one seems to be willing to step up and explain how that brilliant strategy foiled the terrorists.
Unlike some, we don’t go for the Hollywood hype. If a procedure has proved ineffective then we ask why implement it? We’re not interested in window dressing for the travelling public, or banning family members so that the politicians can go on TV and say “look, we’ve improved security, we’re the party to trust…vote for us”.
This threat is far too serious for that. We’ll ridicule and bitch, until we force the powers that be to take real and effective measures. If that means profiling then so be it. Individual rights will (on this occasion) have to be subservient to the collective security of the majority. But this is going to cost lots of money to implement…that I suspect is why we keep getting these stupid, irrelevant and ineffective (but cheap) edicts from the idiots in power.
Tony Blair is willing to pay the “blood price” to go to war in Iraq. I bet he won’t be there in the Warrior armoured vehicles with the rest of the boys and girls, (Perhaps we should insist that all MP’s are the first in, in any shooting war they get us into) just like he won’t pay the “blood price” when the next attack happens and the new security measures prove ineffective again.
