It is criminal to REDUCE commonsense protection such as sensors for warning of terrorism, while INCREASING the likelihood of such terrorism through first-strike rhetoric and weaponry.

Did you read Michael Moore's FOIA suit, asking why the "restricted items" list for airlines did not include butane lighters and matches? It did at first in the list presented to the White House by the airlines and FAA. It was DELETED by the White House coincidently giving the "shoe bomber" a chance to try lighting his shoe-bomb.

The lame explanation Moore has gotten so far is supposedly this was to placate tobacco interests who wanted passengers to have immediate access to smoking after thay landed, and not have to get a lighter in the airport...

There are countless examples of these increases in threat to the American citizen, rather than increased protection.

These are all clear indicators of the real priorities of this administration.
