Oh, yeah, it really IS all about terrorism.

mindseye: Two articles in today's news:

One says more airline hijackings are on the way:

Another says the TSA is grounding air marshals due to budget cuts:
http://www.msnbc.com/news/945774.asp


Folks, the air marshal program costs a lot less than a war in Iraq. It puts our defensive capability somewhere where we in fact do know terrorists like to strike, and it's been proven to work. But, they don't have a lot of oil resources, so. . .

I'm encouraging people to write their representatives in Congress and ask why a program that unquestionably does work is being cut at the expense of a military occupation whose effectiveness is, at best, questionable.

7x6andchg: Mindseye-

While I agree with your points below...I do have to make this point: I somehow find it hard to believe that 150 people on a plane are EVER going to let a bunch of box cutters keep them at bay again.

Sad isn't it? We have to fly wondering if we could take the guy next to us in a fistfight.
