The 'security' stuff gets even more absurd when you listen to some people.
I've heard more than a few people tell me that the reason they were voting
for Bush was that the 'terrorists were afraid of him and that was why we
haven't had another 911'.

I always offer to these individuals the observation that our first terrorist
attack (of this magnitude) took place with G.W. in-office. Now, for the
previous 200 years we never had such a thing happen - did that mean that the
terrorists were really afraid of our previous presidents and less afraid of
G.W???. .... Jeesh...... Wasn't it R.W. Emerson who said " A foolish
consistency, is the hobgoblin of little minds".
