hahah I was going to ask ' 'are you sure ' whoops ..well I have really been blubbing all day watching too much 9-11 TV
wow I thought I was in for a yelling at ...lol
yup 99 years old had to undress ...sick ... well I do mind.... its disgusting ..we were attacked by jhiadist Islam or as Bush said after 9-11 Islamic Fascists . we were not attacked by white elderly folks ..enough with the political correctness .
I think what we are seeing is a bit of hyper vigilance. Not that it is bad, but with this tidbit of very vague information, we are looking into every crack and orifice for anything that resembles a bomb or bomb making materials. Not only that, but our law enforcement agencies are out in force looking into anything that seems out of the norm.
Hyper vigilance like this does look disorganized and kind of does make us look slightly idiotic. If you ask me, that is probably part of the plan of this supposed attack. Fear is a great weapon that has been used since the turn of time. With us looking scared, disorganized, and idiotic.... the others of us noting that may begin to feel unsure or insecure. With that, panic sets in and mistakes are often made and things often over looked.
With that said, I'd just like to point something out. This "credible" information says that it is 2 people (potential U. S. citizens) from the middle east. I am totally fine with going through additional check points in the airport and what have you, but do find it odd that we constantly screen the oldest people possible at these check points when the demographics of nearly all terrorist attacks fall on the shoulders of men, 18-30 years of age, from the middle east. (Minus Timothy Mc Vey and his cohorts.)
If you''re going to frisk my grandmother and my 5 year old, go ahead and frisk Habib. He won't mind and it will set a few more minds at ease. (It is not racial profiling if you check everyone.... this random stuff is going to bite us in the tail eventually and we'll be forced to tighten down the screws then. Just do it now.
I found it so strange. The article made our people sound idiotic. I just dont know that I believe this article. If they would give that much information....then they need to be fired.
Also they sound like school children running in circles for no reason. Then I thought... the journalist sounded like they were hanging on every word spoken.. I dont know..the whole thing seemed odd to me.
Seems to me like the media got hold of a bit of info and as usually happens it turned into a major drama.
Yes, caution should be exercised, but their information is so sketchy, it's almost unreal.
I commented on this in the following thread:

I have tried to find a thousands ways to explain how I feel after reading this, but I cant put it in words. Does anyone else find this article....well.... tell me what you all think after reading this.
