Airport Security Searches

Tweet

OK...I am going to post something here that is going probably going to make some people mad, but I really don't care. I am tired of hearing about this. I am tired of people not wanting to submit to airport security searches, whether they be by X-RAY machine, or by a good old-fashioned frisk search. I just saw, and commented on, a picture on here that showed a little old lady being searched by airport security, and the person who posted the picture was obviously protesting the searches. SO...here is my question for you...Would you rather them frisk "grandma", or would you rather be on the plane that "grandma" blows up? Don't blame the airlines for their security procedures. It is their job to try to make sure that you get to your destination safely. If searches of this nature are what it takes to prevent another 9/11 from happening, then be glad that the airlines are willing to take the extra steps to try to guarantee your safety. If you want to blame someone for the added security procedures that have been deemed necessary, blame the muslim terrorist who planned and carried out the 9/11 attacks. After all, THEY are the reason that airport security has come to this, and the muslim terrorists who want to carry out more attacks are the reasons that these security measures are still necessary. Now, let me say that not all muslims are terrorists. I don't want to be accused of profiling. There are other non-muslim terrorist organizations out there. Timothy McVeigh, the man who carried out the SECOND most destructive terrorist attack on American soil, was NOT a muslim. He was inspired by a book called THE TURNER DIARIES, which was written by a man who was a "white nationalist" and a supporter of the NAZI party (yes the Nazis are still around). His attack on the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 19, 1995, was a retaliatory strike against the deaths at the "Branch Davidian" compound in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 1993, and for the lesser-known Ruby Ridge incident in 1992, which I will not go into the details of. The Oklahoma City bombing was EXACTLY 2 years from the Branch Davidian siege, and the bomb in Oklahoma City exploded at the same time the attack on the Branch Davidian compound had started on that day two years earlier. SO...I told you all that to tell you THIS...not ALL terrorists are muslims, which is exactly why these security procedures are still necessary. You never know who the people on your plane are affiliated with, or what they may be planning to do because they are pissed off about something. It may or may not be a muslim terrorist that decides to blow up the plane that you or your family members happen to be on. While "grandma" may not be a muslim, she MAY be an American who is sympathetic to the Nazis (or some other cause), and may be mad about something going on with them, just as Timothy McVeigh was mad about the Waco, Texan incident. You never know what is going on in the mind of someone else, or what they are capable of doing. You don't have to be a muslim or a thirty-year old American man to build a bomb or smuggle a gun or some other weapon onto a plane with the intent to do harm... If you do not want to be subjected to these searches, the solution is simple...DO NOT FLY. Stay home, keep your mouth shut, and stop making it harder on those of us who do not mind the added security features. Now that you know my opinion...let's hear yours...
