26. you misunderstood me
I meant that IF there are terrorists targetting planes, they will use anything......that's why they're terrorists, right?????

didn't the resistance in France use kids on bikes, etc, as messengers in the hope they would be viewed as 'non-threatening'?

and then, of course, if the Nazis were doing their 'job' correctly, they stopped everyone, even the ones obviously incapable of being a threat.......they viewed everyone as the enemy, which is where some in the govt now appear to be

I guess part of what I'm trying (not very well) to say is that EITHER you take 'terrorism' completely seriously and clamp down on everyone and everything OR you decide there are certain things you will/can not give up for some pie-in-the-sky 'security'
