Other than happening to Tiger Woods which only magnifies the issue I don't see how this is funny. Our borders are more porous than most people think. Not enough money is being spent to increase security along ALL of our borders and not just the checkpoints. This boat had actually docked already and could theoretically offloaded anything they wanted to (i.e. terrorist stow aways). This stuff needs to be caught away from our borders. 95% of shipping containers are NOT inspected before entering the U.S.A. and that's 3 years since 9/11! WTF.

Anyone who thinks they are more safe now than they were before 9/11 is kidding themselves.

I'm not picking on you Rhino. It's a general rant that I have and the perceived humor of the situation was the catalyst for me posting it once again.

In other news, Tiger's huge yacht docked in his fiance's slip and unloaded 'terrorist stow aways'. Intelligence suggests the stow aways headed inland via a marsh pasage for a night of amphibious assualt and pillaging.

Chris,
are you saying that we are not more aware ... that the FBI and CIA are not actually looking in a concerted effort .... I agree that we are not doing enough but we are working toward it. it really bugs me when people dismiss all the work and effort that we are doing with a glib " if you think we are safer now than before 9/11 your a idiot " there is a lot being done behind the scene that we dont know about ... well most dont ... one of the goals of terrorism is economic disturbance.. if we insisted that every container get checked by our current methods we would realize the very economic disturbance that the terrorist want ... new methods and procedures take time to develop and implement ... new technologies have to be invented ... all I am saying is we are better off than before 9/11

congrats on the Marriage

I didn't say you were an idiot. An idiot would look at what I see happen every day at work and think everything was fine and dandy and different since 9/11. It's not different. Only the alphabet soup has changed.

We just had a series of security screener tests and guns and simulated bombs got through screening! Russia just had two airliners blown out of the sky. People think that can't happen here but it can. This is what I am talking about. We are not safer now than we were on 9/11.

The only real inprovement I see in the airlines is that passengers won't sit idly by during a crisis. They are going to get very personally involved to try and save their own life. That is the only real change since 9/11.

Again, my opinion as someone who works full time in the transportation industry.

before 9/11 how often would they test the screener's
before 9/11 how many federal air marshals where there
before 9/11 what were the odds of passengers getting involved in a take over

I know the system needs work, a lot of it.

I personally believe that the military should be in control of airport security.

it is my opinion that the ACLU should not have a say in procedures and practices

I also believe that the only way these changes can occur is with the leadership of a President that does whats right in face of whats popular

deleted because I'm just getting my blood pressure up and accomplishing zero. People will believe what they want to. I know what I see.

Wasn't "safe" befor, not "safe" now. I'm not sure I would want to give up the "freedoms" neccesary to be "safe".
