The Skid Mark Bomber has renewed our interest in seizing up travel and making life another step closer to full blown lockdown. We currently take our shoes off, go through a metal detector, x-ray machine, 2-hour arrival, huge lines and now, because some idiot put explosives in his underwear we are considering even more security. What happens when the airlines are so locked up that the terrorists make a left turn and walk into a super market, mall, train, subway, federal building, office building, etc...? Then what?

It's a logical question to ask because as soon as the airports are locked up, it won't take long for even these uneducated third-world Muslims and homegrown terrorists to figure out 300+ people congregate in many places beyond airplanes. While security gaurds are sniffing underwear in airports, malls and trains and infinite other public places are completely open to attack. So when it happens, what then? Metal detectors at the supermarket? Pat downs at the mall?

If we examine the pattern it is clear that our system is a joke. Richard Reed brings a shoe bomb, now we all take off our shoes at the airport. A guy brings an explosive into an airport with a bottle, now we can't bring bottles in. A guy wears nasty old granny undies strapped with explosives, no underwear now?? The pattern is, they do something, we react, they do something else. Its like chasing jackrabbits in an open field. You will never catch one if you are always running behind them. The Israelis focus on body language and eye contact. We focus on shoes and water bottles. Our uneducated security guards are more like cow herders than security guards and it's going to get worse.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin

Americans are a panic stricken, fearful flock of sheep right now. The terrorists have the upper hand based on a pair of explosive underwear. They keep the most powerful nation on Earth trembling with every idiotic move they make. Keep running America, keep stripping down in airports but know that it will only get worse and worse until we actually stop running scared.
