7. Half a BILLION dollars for thousands of ex-cops to babysit airplanes
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 06:16 PM by kurth
The federal air marshall budget skyrocketed from a few million dollars in 2001 to HALF A BILLION dollars this year.

The pilots are packing and the cockpits are secure. Every white-haired grandma is being X-rayed to death. Passengers are not stupid anymore, they would beat a terrorist to death. This is a stupid waste of taxpayer money.

And the guy NEVER said anything about a bomb, either. That was an outright lie by the government.
