Those kind of threats from them remind me of an ant crawling up an elephant's a$$ with rape in mind.

Our guard was down which allowed them to hijack those planes.

It will never happen again.

Can you imagine 4 arabs being able to get on a plane together now? Not bloody likely. But what if they did manage to get on a plane and hijack it? They'd have 14 billion passengers all over them AND their boxcutters.

Flying is probably one of the safest means of getting around now - just time consuming.

There will be little attempts but I doubt there will be much success.

As far as Vegas is concerned - they already have some of the most high tech security systems around - and a history of being very capable of dealing with reprobates.

The following is not the sort of thing that gives one warm and fuzzy feelings about flying:

I flew yesterday. I admit I was a bit paranoid and was checking out everyone that was on my flight(more than the usual scan of pretty doodets). But I wasn't really worried.

Okay, before I left, I gave Mrs. west a letter for my oldest brother(of accounts and such) in the event I didn't return). But once there, I was relaxed.

AMERICANS HAVE TO know that they have opened gates that they will not be able to close,” the spokesman said. He said the jihad, or holy war, was the duty of every Muslim. He also said the hijackings would continue."


That is their strongest weapon. Fear. If we as American's change out life style and hurt our economy(not that it needs further help) than we are playing into their hands. I say screw it. I haven't changed my style because of the attacks. And I probably won't. If I die, so be it. I will die for my country and for my children.

But as God as my witness(and I'm generally a peaceful kind of guy), I ain't going down with out a fight, and a mouth full of some bastard's flesh from his throat. And that is a promise!
