<<The political correctness jerks stopped one on the profiling systems that would have flagged about half the 9/11 hijackers. A close inspection at the gate might have stopped at least one hijacking.>> It is becoming increasingly clear to me that the USA will need to suffer a disaster more severe than 9/11 in order to finally silence the ACLU and other extreme lefties. Something along the lines of 5 radiological bombs detonating simultaneously in the business districts of 5 major American cities. OTOH, Al Qaeda leaders must have an idea that if they try something like this, it would pretty much signal their extinction. They may just choose to continue along with their current method of operation - blow up a building, embassy, restaurant etc. every year or so. Enough to invite a few missiles getting lobbed into the desert, not enough for the US to restructure govt wrt "personal freedoms", political correctness, racial profiling, etc.. Warp
