Nor have there ever been an attack on any target in the USA by kids.
The supposition that terrorists could recruit kids (in the USA) is also STUPID!

Its crazy to treat ALL travelers as potential terrorists. You completely lose sight of the objective!
Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, born 1957 Current age, 53

Just to name one, or are you of the opinion that he is not a terrorist? What would be "stupid" would be making inaccurate assumptions.

As for kids, well let me ask you this, just because there has not been does that mean that there will never be? You cant imagine someone using a kid to sneak a grenade onboard an aircraft? Children are used all over the planet to fight wars, using one to take an aircraft down is not that big a stretch of the imagination.

Really? Just where have I admitted this? A link would be real nice.

Knowing what they look like would go a long way towards preventing them from getting on board a commercial aircraft, wouldn’t you think?
