Hey Ron, when did the United Kingdom annex Amsterdam?

Exactly. The idea that BDO's, roaming the airport concourse, can detect potential terrorists simply by observing them is simply ludicrous.

the same person who believes Amsterdam is in the UK also tried to lecture us about the duties and training of an FFDO. Predictably, almost everything he posted was incorrect.
