On The British Terror Story
Advertisements [?]
So, the guy from Britain says that they were going to carry out mass murder on an unimaginable scale. Well, let's do a little math, shall we.

Nine planes, even if 767's, would hold about 300 people each. That would 2700 people. On Sept 11, 2001, 3000 people were killed in that event.

So, how would 2700 be unimaginable, when we just experienced 3000 all at once just a few years back?

Then they wonder why people like me don't have confidence in their ability to protect anybody. They couldn't imagine planes being used as weapons. They couldn't imagine the insurgency in Iraq. Now, they can't imagine the death toll which would be smaller than the one over which all these initiatives are based.

They're dumber than dirt, and they don't make me feel safe. They make me feel LESS safe, because they're too incompetent to do their jobs.
