Scooter by no means do I mean disrespect to you/ I know your daughter is not all or any of the above, but what about the people / kids that are? You can't search every 100 person and be effective.
Their are many that have been taught them that the sacrifice of a life is an honorable thing if they are killing an enemy.
You can't reason with someone that wants you dead at no expense spared.
If everyone were like us ( the rj clan) it would be a perfect world.
No disrespect taken Wabbit. You have a good point. Here is mine: If we can guide a missile from a satellite thousands of miles away & destroy exactly what we want to, I think they can figure out a way to scan a potential bomb material/threat on a child. To my knowledge, I have not heard of a kid/toddler who has blown up a plane... but I would not put it past the Taliban or other extremists. Things are pretty well buttoned up after 911. Think about it- what extremists have gotten away with hi-jacking & causing more harm to Americans in the air & our turf at the same time since 911??? They can keep their hands off my kids. Besides, at the end of the day my faith is not in the government to protect me... or some $9.00/hour airport employee either. BUT MY KIDS, THEY EXPECT ME TO PROTECT THEM... MY BIGGEST RESPONSIBILITY IN LIFE. That is why I am given sharp senses, common sense, a sound mind, etc... my creator is who gives me protection through my spirit to sense that something is wrong. It is that fight or flight feeling... ironically "flight" means to run away. I know what flight I need to be on or off. We all have the ability to fight or get on the flight. By no means will I minimize what happened on 911. This has made us much more cautious about air-travel unfortunately. The terrorists are training for something new now; they are not interested in figuring out how to beat new airport security measures... they want us dead another way now. Be it a Muslim takeover eventually, biological chemicals, nuclear, government takeover, whatever.
Double/D has a point I think. These are cunning & diabolical terrorists now. Take our eye off the ball & BANG!!!! Perfect strategy. You think I am paranoid??? Maybe. Maybe not. One thing is for sure, I WISH THE WORLD WAS LIKE IT IS RIGHT HERE ON RJ W/ FOLKS LIKE YOU GUYS.
