September 25th, 2013 (pre-sequester): A undercoverTSA agent was able to sneak a "bomb" through security at Newark Airport. Liberal Juan Williams defended Security by saying, "Well, at least there hasn't been any incidents on planes since 911." On the other hand, nobody was caught with a bomb or weapon trying to board a plane, so the point is moot. Had the bomb been real . . . BOOM! Simple as that. Why is it that liberals like Juan Williams don't get it? Why do they always defend the indefensible?
The idea of security checks is not to actually find bombs or weapons in order to keep the public safe, the idea is to give the public the illusion of safety. It's like the old joke of the accountant who figured the chances of there being a bomb on his plane was about one in a hundred thousand, so he took his own bomb--the chances of having two bombs on the same plane were one in ten million.
My idea: allow every passenger, in fact, demand that every passenger carry a handgun on all flights, using weaker-charged rounds (to prevent piercing the skin of the aircraft) should some Muslim terrorist, or a terrorist of a religion less known for attempting mass killing of Westerners, try to overtake the crew. This ought to give pause to any terrorist who sneaks a box cutter up his butt or who has a gun of his own.
Another idea that would increase security and make flying safer would be to have Obama take one less golf vacation or one less Hawaiian vacation each year and use the money not spent for his pleasure be used to hire a hundred or so additional Air Marshals.
My latest novel, Jihad
Joe, is about Islamic
terrorism and suspense. In it I challenge the precepts of the religion
through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who
is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three
Gitmo prisoners. Of course, American policy demands we never give in to
terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
