Fear Not America, Janet Napolitano Is On The Job

Re: Fear Not America, Janet Napolitano Is On The Job

you want to know why our system isn't safe? You really want to know? As an airline pilot, I think I know.

It's all of you. Look in the mirror. Every single one of you is the reason that our system is flawed. And don't say "oh, it's not me". It is. Because none of you want a better system. Oh you want it for sure. But none of you want to pay for it. None of you want to take the time that is necessary to ensure safety.

If you TRULY wanted safer systems in place, you'd be all in favor of racial profiling. Why? Because it's not the Lutherans, Catholics, Jews, hell, even the Mormons trying to bring down our airplanes. It's the *king Muslims. And don't feed me the "oh, it's only a few extremists." It's Muslims. End of story. Yes, there are good Muslims. Most, in fact. But because a few have decided to take up this jihad against all of us, we need to profile every single Muslim.

Be willing to show up 3+ hours to the airport so your *t can be thoroughly checked. TSA is a joke. It needs to go. I'm aware of this and fully accepting of this. When I am screened just like the rest of you peons, we have a problem. Sure we trust you at the controls of an airplane, but make sure you take your shoes off before you go through the detector, even though they don't beep. Give me a *king break. :mad:

TSA needs to go and be replaced by the military. You ever travel overseas? They have guys with M-16's in the airports! I hear in Israel there's Israeli Army personnel all over the airport checking bags and people randomly. We need this in American airports.

And none of you are willing to pay for it. None of you. You are all too worried about "hurting someone's feelings" or the extra 4 bucks on your ticket. You want the change? You want to feel safer? Speak the *k up.

What you can't comprehend is that Islam is not a race. It's a religion. There are Muslim extremists of all races. White Muslim Terrorists, Black Muslim Terrorists, Brown Muslim Terrorists. They could look just like you. Hell, you could be a terrorist. You're certainly angry enough.

This most recent guy was Nigerian. If we start checking every guy or girl's name to see if its Islamic, the terrorists will just assume false identities with Christian names.

So racial profiling won't work. It will just waste time. Coming from someone who looks Islamic and gets pulled "randomly" every time I could care less if they pull me out of the line. But while you're pulling my honest American butt out of line for the cavity search the next generation of blue eyed blond haired female Islamic terrorists will walk along unharmed.

If everyone is three hours early its not going to matter. Attacks will still happen. We can't be perfect all the time and eventually we'll make a mistake.

Look, I know you pilots fill most of your heads with your egos, leaving little left for deductive reasoning.

What I'm saying is your plan for people being three hours early and racial profiling won't work. And our military is already stretched thin enough as it is fighting two wars so I don't see us siphoning off manpower to provide security for airports.

Now if we have a draft...

So back to the drawing board, you angry man you.

You're screened like the rest of us when you're in uniform? I don't think so

Not to mention a Constitution that prevents using the military as a domestic police force. But that's just a piece of paper.

After the last few posts, I say we change the thread title to:

"Fear Not America, Sloe Gin is on the Job"

The Constitution only applies when some nutjobs want to ruin a random soldier's funeral, not any other time ;)

I hardly think I'm being egotistical here. All I'm saying is the American public doesn't care about safe travel, as long as the price is right. And then I offer a potential solution to the problem and you immediately assume it's just because I'm angry. I'm hardly angry. And for the record, I've had an FBI background check to ensure that I am a safe individual.

I feel safe enough. In fact, I feel overly safe. I want respect for my person back - I'm willing to up the risk of a terrorist attack on my particular flight by a couple thousandths of a percent if it would mean receiving the benefit of the doubt and not being presumed a criminal merely by having the nerve to buy an airline ticket to go somewhere.

Conveniently, that would also be cheaper than the current post-9/11 TSA model.
 
Re: Fear Not America, Janet Napolitano Is On The Job

I guess I'm in an unusual minority.

I DO think that screening helps, but I also know that you can never have a (usable) system that is 100% secure. By screening, we at least force the whackjobs to have to smuggle on explosive fruits-of-the-loom (fruits-of-the-boom?) rather than just bringing on a backpack full of grenades. By limiting the terrorists' weapons of choice, we at least give the passengers/crew on the airplane a fighting chance to prevent a tragedy (as in the most recent episode) or somewhat reduce its impacts (United 93). If all the terrorist had to do was pull a pin, the passengers would have had no chance to subdue him.

I think the level of screening we have now is actually a pretty good balance between doing some good while keeping the delays tolerable.

And your way prevents it how...oh it doesn't so you fail again! Congrats on not only insulting an entire race of people, but doing so without actually stopping terror attacks from happening. It is hard to epically fail but you my friend have done so!

All Americans have rights...just some of us get more rights because we are the right color/religion...hmm where have I heard that before?
