Question for the people advocating all these measures. Wjat stops say a dozen terrorist from arming themselves to the teeth, driving a van screaming up to the airport, and then just shooting their way to the first airplane and forcing it to take off? The security certainly isn't near strong enough to stop this, and they could do as much damage as any other method of plane hijacking, if not more.


How many terrorists are we talking? Less than 10 and in an international airport you possibly will have enough security to at least hold them back long enough for the cavalry to arrive. Much more than 10 and it really becomes an issue of intelligence - it should have been picked up long before they got to the airport.

 

(Not at Gnizmo anymore) I'm not understanding the racial profiling argument, are you saying strip searches are bad and a violation of human rights - unless they're done to Arabs in which case its ok? Or am I missing something? - which is quite possible
