not meant to be funny pointing out how astonishingly vulnerable we are when frisked at sport events or transportation centers, then you know we are serious until then, we are not remotely serious just think for a minute how easy it would be for your child to be kidnapped from school, from walking home, from in supermarket parking lot think of how easy it would be to have some city's water supply poisoned imagine the damage from a few well-tossed grenades in a gasoline refinery what would we breathe if a chemical plant is blown up? our oil supertankers are floating targets on the unprotected high seas will Congressional leaders have their family abducted someday? just trying to make a point WE ARE 100 TIMES AS VULNERABLE AS WE THINK WE ARE while most Americans are talking tough, they are also exposed at an absurdly high level such is the nature of our American life we tend to worry about things e.g. finding a packy open for a sixpack getting laid on Saturday night earning a few bucks more for that new car finding those Knick or Laker tickets we have been wanting cleaning off the motorboat after a nice lake outing but not about whether we will attempt to fly from the World Trade Tower or how we will react to an abduction or wonder if our car has a bomb in it / jim
