Heard the kid was packin' a gat ... turns out it was just packin' a load.

War on terror declared over.... oops, then not over. We'd neccesarily have to disban the TSA if that was true. Where would all those unemployed civil servants go? There's not a census for another 8 years?!

So you are saying a terrorist CAN'T dream up an IED device placed in a diaper? They've thought up pretty much everything else, so why not?

I say screen away as long as the tech is safe. Better safe than sorry.

Being against screening is tantamount to BEING a terrorist yourself. Considering your leanings. You don't stick your head in the sand and hope a problem goes away.

Delaying hundreds of people for hours because a couple who wasn't suspicious to begin with is where it gets over the top. Finding the couple and searching them? Thats fine. If he wasn't wearing a turban and yelling kill all infidels throughout the process, I think they could have let one baby slip through.

Does being against the patriot act make me a terrorist? I can't tell over the internet if you are being ironic or not...
