I don't want to be an apologist for TSA or any other government agency
but how do you explain the fact that despite numerous attempts the
terrorists have been unable to kill anyone else in this country since 9/11?

Well, the terrorists have killed several thousand of us and want to kill
as many as they can get to.


by headcount? maybe. a good part of the WTC were non us citizens. you also
have to count in all the dead soldiers you lost during your search for ..
aaahh ... WMD. - whatever. this will always lead to an endless discussion,
so I give in.

but (!): how many of your principles have you as a nation already given up?
in this matter, the terrorists have reached farther than with a few car
bombs.

Zero.

The only significant erosions to the Constitution have been by caused by
the gradual expansion of government over the years.

Face it, the terrorists have been completely ineffective in the USA.
The USA economy dipped briefly from the shock of 9/11 and then entered a
stronger growth phase. USA unemployment continues to be about half that
of the EU.

It doesn't sell newspapers to say so or sooth the old Europe's sense of
inferiority but 9/11 will be recorded in history as a complete blunder
by Mideast dictator wannabes that led to a general democratic revolution
in that part of the world.

USA's greatest threat is Rock and Roll.

And I am missing SEX.
Isn't it "Sex, Drugs and Rock'n Roll"?

:-)

This brings me to an idea: what about embarassing the screeners? Just put
some adult toys in your luggage. Are there some legal restrictions in the
US?
