You claim to know the objective of the attacks? No, but just look at what terrorists have done over the years. Strike and watch the chaos. |

Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida get most of their growth these days from retirees. I suppose most of the rest are mainly attracting businesses? Georgia certainly is. Where did you get that info? NC, for one, is growing leaps and bounds in the research triangle area, which is Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill. The ocean, up and down the coast is booming, for tourism and the services required to service the tourists. No doubt, there are some retirees settling along the coast, but that is not the largest percentage of property use; rather rentals and time shares. Look at the growth of the Charlotte area. They are building a couple new large high schools, every year. Retirees don't have that many kids. ;-) -- Jim in NC |

Hundreds of readers responded to last week's column about airport
security. These were letters from Americans who fit no terrorist profile -- airline pilots, mothers traveling with children, disabled people, elderly and other law-abiding Americans -- and yet were frisked, groped and hassled. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) behaves as if all passengers and all baggage pose an equal security threat, and that's stupid, because not nearly all passengers and baggage pose a security threat. This article seems to indicate that: a) Airport security HAS been improved, since they are frisking everyone. (They certainly never did that pre-9/11) and b) Political correctness, dictated by umpteen zillion stupid lawsuits over the years, dictates that the TSA must frisk EVERYONE, even though any idiot knows that a 93 year old woman in a wheelchair is probably not a security risk. It's a sign of the times, not of the TSA. How does this article support your point? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

you can also traceroute from your PC: open again this black box, type
"tracert www.alexisparkinn", then you will see all hops an IP packet makes Neat-o. Fun to watch all the twists and turns it took to get to Jav's server! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

but then bring their nasty and unfriendly attitudes right along with them. The real problems start when enough of them move in to be able to legislate their attitudes into law. Yeah, that danged "majority rules" thing always seems to ruin a good thing... ;-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Cute expression - 65,000 equals a city. That's a town, not much more than
a village. 120,000 a metropolitan area - that's just a big town. What does it take to become a city in the US? Where do you live, Chris? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

His parents were sent to the Japanese camps in WWII and it is his way of getting even. Frisking everyone has little to no effect on security. There are dozens of other ways to get what terrorist need on to airplanes. The lawsuits could be prevented by a simple act of congress. I doubt there ever were lawsuits but it is an easy scapegoat for the PC ninnies. |

Except for New Hampshire (15th: ugh!), the Northeast is essentially irrelevant. The top ten states in 2030 are shown are California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina (!), Georgia, Ohio, and Arizona. Florida displacing New York at 3! North Carolina displacing Ohio at 7! Don't give all the credit to the internet. UPS has a lot to do with it, too I knew their drivers could be promiscuous, but I had no idea.... |
