The next step in tightened security could be on U.S. public transportation, trains and boats.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists will continue to look for U.S. vulnerabilities, making tighter security standards necessary.
“[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through,” Napolitano said in an interview that aired Monday night on "Charlie Rose."
“I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime. So, what do we need to be doing to strengthen our protections there?”
Napolitano’s comments, made a day before one of the nation’s busiest travel days, come in the wake of a public outcry over newly implemented airport screening measures that have been criticized for being too invasive.
I wonder how many of the 3000 that died on 911 had wished there was upgraded security? I am pretty sure that they wouldn't be doing this if they were not concerned about safety.
ReplyDeleteNever hire a woman for a position of power. This is what did in Rome, and this is what will do in the US. They are paranoid and have no sense of fairness at all.
ReplyDeleteOutside of that, it's amazing to me that people continue to use air travel and aren't pressuring politicians.
8:30 you truly are a sheep. The media/government has brainwashed you into submission. What terrorists were there on 911? How many plane crashes have their been in the past 10 years BEFORE they used this new groping, cancer causing technique started..are you that simple?
ReplyDeleteI like to be groped and fondled by female TSA agents.
ReplyDelete8:30 : Stop watching TV. Read Paul Craig Roberts book, I think it will help you pull your head out of your ass. The fact is you are more likely to be killed by a bee sting than a terrorist. The problem with hijacking was fixed with locked cockpit doors and armed pilots. What you see now is an out of control TSA chipping away at what little freedom we have left.
ReplyDeleteThe debt that the US government is piling up on the tax payer is far more of a threat to America than the Taliban. They must be laughing at our stupidity. They spend a few bucks on a jerry rigged printer bomb that doesn’t go off and we respond by spending trillions, give up our civil liberties and watch our young men and woman come home in body bags with no end in sight.
2:00 the Taliban didn't spend a dime on a printer bomb, there probably wasn't EVER even such a thing. It was invented for the simple reasons you see today..to gain control of the public when collapse comes
ReplyDeleteLet them do their dirty little deeds, Jehovah God the supreme judge of the universe will deal with them in due time soon.
ReplyDeleteHope this could not happen.

8:36, what woman are you talking about in Rome?
ReplyDeleteThe Romans never had a woman in charge of anything as far as military was concerned. Women did influence the senate, being wives of senators, but outside of that you're statement holds two fallacies.
One is the one I just mentioned and two is that there have women in powerful positions that were good at what they did.
As soldiers women are poor, they are mostly gettng in the way today more than anything else. If they had the testosterone and muscular development they would be okay, but so far only 2% of the females enlisted are equal to their male counterparts. (Have passed the male courses). They can't take men on in hand to hand fights, lift the same equipment, and even have bad morale effects on the units as a whole.
Go read about this by women that were actually in the military and wrote about it.
However, when it comes to historical rulers, there have been great leaders that were queens. And you don't think males have wrecked nations before? The rest of the comments aren't even worth much, a lot of dumb people here.
Police state... where? Cops are being let go left and right. If people stopped flying we could get rid of this little problem here. Some counties have sheriffs that are taking a stance with the people, not against. In Pinal County for example, the sheriff declared the government an enemy of the people.
What police state? If people stop going to these kinds of things and allowing them to remain in place, then all speculation about police states would go away.
We are about to lose our dollar, we are also about to lose our military.
in the latter Roman empire after the emporors moved to Constaninople women sometimes acheived positions of top power ,influencing life and government .
ReplyDeleteAn example is Contantines mother who got her son to introduce Christianity as the state religion.
This might be a little off topic.... but some of the things I see online are from people who have gotten fed up with the government in the us and have moved to different countrys. Part of me thinks that we should stay and fix it, then part of me thinks maybe its to late, just leave. The question that always comes to mind about leaving, is where on earth could I go that wouldn't freak out about me having a collection of fine firearms?
ReplyDeleteif we leave our country instead of fixing it we are no better than the illegal freeloaders that have helped to destroy it.
ReplyDeleteOh say can you for the sunset industries of america ?
ReplyDeleteDebt peons should just patrioticaly hang in there .
How else will wall st and the american dream survive.
Obamaite , Republican or tea party supporters of the corporate state of socialist bailouts should perhaps remember and be inspired by the words of the anthem of the labor aristocracies Labour party of Great Britain and its undying devotion to british capitalism of the British Empire .
" Then raise the scarlet standard high.
Within its shade we'll live and die,
Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer,
We'll keep the red flag flying here."
As opposed to the words of the "Internationale"
Every impoverished debt peon should hang in there ,pay their rents and bills on time and stand ready to defend an insolvant system with their guns and bibles at the ready . :)
