What are the odds that pig Laden has left instructions to do those destructive activities, right now? They are trying to destroy America right now.

I would say the odds are 100% that OBL left such instructions. What are the odds that Big Loaden has left instructions to his various cells about destructive activities to undertake when he is captured or killed?

I just heard on Fox News that many of the security personnel at Logan are not even U.S. citizens. What does that tell us? It's the first time I've actually have had a shiver run up my spine since 9/11.

Our security in Juneau is pretty good. They always find souvenier Ulu knives people forget to check in their baggage. Since we are a hunting and fishing hub, firearms and knives are checked on almost every flight some times of the year. I myself carried a bone handled folder and many people carry leatherman tools and suchlike. No more.

I have my carry on searched almost every time because I have a medical device that somehow fits one of their profiles. In Seattle, I often get tested for residue of some kind on the handles and latches of my carry on. Less so, now that I stopped carrying a camo bag that I got free with a subscription to Field and Stream magazine. There seems to be a prejudice against camo.

Every once in a while they mess up. A couple of years ago, a native lady checked a firearm that she had inherited. Unfortunately, she wasn't familiar with firearms and had failed to ascertain whether it was loaded. By the grace of God, nobody was killed when it discharged in the baggage compartment and the path of the bullet went through the passenger compartment. The lady was arrested.

Also, last week a Seattle doctor was arrested in Sitka for declaring he would come back as an assassin if his baggage didn't arrive on time. He was charged with a felony, but since the state's attorney declined to prosecute he got off with a few days in jail. Also, Alaska Airlines put him on a short list of people that it refuses to transport for the remainder of their lives.
