The media circus is still trying to find traction to spin this one good, as POTUS signed the defense authorization bill yesterday - the TSA getting their wishes as he "expressed concerns" about some members of Congress wanting to restrict options used in counterterrorism. Which side is he on, not mine for sure ....

I'm having a very, very hard time picturing the Al Qaeda "links" to these stories, the big catches lately are mostly, if not, all home-brewed or home-grown, most likely by morons & fools with objects like stun guns, walking cane swords & spring-loaded knife - offsetting the collar buttons, candy, cupcake & chocolated, etc. etc.

It seemed that "we" are the ones terrorizing ourselves - and, sadly the 3-1-1 and 100 ml liquid rules, shoes & belts off, groping, among other "bad" things happening at the checkpoints aren't going away, yet (anyway) ....
