VERY good, Ronnie! You just made two unambiguously correct statements!
Reid did not try to blow up an aircraft flying to another country. He intentionally targeted a US bound aircraft, because of the US citizens aboard and that the carrier is a US company. He didnt choose El Al, British Airways, or Air France. He picked American Airways. Other countries dont have people take off their shoes because they have never been the target of a shoe bomb plot, but the USA has been.
So what? One US-bound flight the better part of a decade ago does not justify a perpetual and nonsensical shoe carnival.
Do you deny that no planes were brought down in the US by shoe bombs before the shoe carnival was made mandatory in August 2006?
Do you deny that no planes are being brought down in other countries that don't have a shoe carnival?
Its [sic] a pretty simple concept. Why are so many of you folks having such trouble understanding it?
