The Obama Administration dodged anther bullet on Christmas day when a Nigerian Muslim by the name of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (hereafter referred to as UFA for obvious reasons) attempted to set off 80 grams of PETN hidden in his Depends-like briefs while aboard NW flight 253 as it approached Detroit. You may have seen the video of what 50 grams of PETN can do to a jet liner. 80 grams would surely have done the job, killing all 300 aboard and an unknown number of unsuspecting innocents on the ground. Had

With the lawyer’s sage advice,
DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a statement saying, “…the system worked,” thus sliding just under the wire for the Stupidest Statement of 2009 Award. This is no small achievement given her other statements in ’09, such as her pronouncement that “terrorism” would now be called “man caused disasters”. She also opined that veterans, gun rights advocates and various right-wingers were serious threats to national security. Among many notable challengers on the Obama Team, ol’ Janet may be the most uniquely unqualified of the lot.
The monumental absurdity of Napolitano’s statement became glaringly obvious when it was revealed that not only had his own father reported to the State Department that his son was a threat but also, that the British had warned the
The system worked? Nothing worked… most importantly the detonator. A week after the incident Obama, after meeting with his “security advisors”, announced that, yes, “mistakes were made”. That’s my all time favorite
That’s a start but still avoids the major and blindingly obvious issue: 100% of the terrorists are Islamic fanatics, young men and primarily Arabs. Obama’s new policy would not have stopped

Meanwhile, the TSA and FAA are dreaming up more ways to make air travel even more inconvenient and intrusive. Not only will we be just taking off our shoes and having our toothpaste and shampoo confiscated, carry-ons are now forbidden and no standing up or potty breaks on the last hour of the flight. What’s that supposed to do? Next up: full body scanners. They’ll see what Granny has in her knickers but still won’t give any special attention to the young man from

Common sense is dead, it was killed by the P.C. police. Recently a plane headed for Hawaii was turned around and F-16's scrambled to escort it back to Portland because an "unruly" passenger argued with the flight attendants about stowing his carry on under his seat. Following the argument he filled out a customer complaint card and this is what he said:
"I thought I was going to die, we were so high up. I thought to myself: I hope we don't crash and burn or worse yet landing in the ocean, living through it, only to be eaten by sharks, or worse yet, end up on some place like gilligans Island, stranded, or worse yet, be eaten by a tribe of headhunters, speaking of headhunters, why do they just eat outsiders, and not the family members? Strange … and what if the plane ripped apart in mid-flight and we plumited (sic) to earth, landed on gilligans Island and then lived through it, and the only woman there was Mrs. Thurston Howell III? No Mary anne (my favorite) no ginger, just lovey! If it were just her, I think I'd opt for the sharks, maybe the headhunters."
Obviously this man was attempting humor, albeit quite lame and juvenile. But the flight attendants who felt "threatened" by this man didn't have the fortitude to chalk it up to anger. They exercised their new-found power and made a point by ruining the vacations of 100's of people and costing tax payers lots of money (I've no idea what it costs to scramble two jets, have a plane cordoned off, search teams brought in and the subsequent trials of the passenger). My guess is that comment cards will be removed from airplanes and paper might be the next banned item.
Great article Cuz. Wish some of our Politically Correct Elected Officials thought like you do then may be flying would be safe again. It's only a matter of time until one of those Arab Creeps pulls off their trip to see Allah taking innocent Americans with him/her.
