Then stop BSing around with feel good initiatives like siezing nail clippers and DO WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!

We will NOT have security until we begin focusing on the real threats in a meaningful manner. Nail clippers and cigar clippers aren't a mistake. They're a *smokescreen* for a system that is well and truly fouled up beyond ALL recognition.

"BAN IT! IT MIGHT COULD BE A WEAPON SOMEHOW!!!" is NOT a coherent approach to anything.

CEASE focusing on grandma's in wheelchairs.
CEASE focusing on cigar clippers.
CEASE focusing on supposed random searches that are neither random nor searches.

We know what the terrorist profile is.
A erson buying first class or one way tickets at the last minute or in cash.
Non-Citizen from a country known to support terrorism or with a heavy foreign accent.
Arabic individuals.

Any one of these is a small flag, add them together and you get a larger flag. Wasting one second on some older invalid lady in a wheelchair is just plain dumb. Wasting time on others with an indepth search for needle and thread is pure foolishness.

Stop wasting our time.

And stop pretending that 9/11 could happen again. It really couldn't. And we all know that. And we all know why.

Not because of ANYTHING that's been done by the government. That's a laugh. No, it won't happen again because the passengers are NOT going to LET one or two people try and take over the aircraft. The passive response is gone. Instead they will pound the would be hijackers into goo. I know it, you know it, and everyone on the board knows it. We've all sat in the seats and figured out what we're gonna do.

I dunno about you but relying on the intrepid cigar cutter seizures isn't any part of MY plan.
