Suddenly, because of the attempt on Christmas Day, to blow up an airplane with 300 or so passengers on board over American soil..

There is a great uproar about getting full body scanners in place in all the airports around the world.

But.....GUESS WHAT.

Those scanners don't do anything to detect the materials the bomber used.

Isn't that great??

Now, the security folks at the airports will be able to see an outline < hazy it may be > of your entire body...

But it WON'T HELP FIND THE THINGS THAT CAN BE PUT TOGETHER to cause an explosion.

It utterly amazes me how little credit for intelligence our " leaders " give to terrorists.

Has anyone ever heard of Neoprene??

Scuba divers use it for their wetsuits. It hugs every contour of the body.

So, the scanner giving a " hazy " outline < at best > of the body, the terrorists simply need to put the materials inside the neoprene. All they would have to do is spread it out enough to not draw attention to odd lumps.

Oh great! Now you told them exactly how to do it!

What they should do to eliminate terrorists is to tell them that anybody that should try this will have his first born shot to death as soon as they know who the terrorist is. The proceed to carry it thru, this might at least stop 75% of the terrorists, if they don't have children, they have mothers, fathers, etc, I know this sounds cruel, but it would give them a taste of there own medicine. I know in reality it would never work, but it would stop them. No???

I think your close to the right track, we just need to let the warriors be warriors. Keep the damd politicians locked up! all of em!

Like I said. The " powers that be " severely underestimate the intelligence of the enemy.

I would be willing to BET that I'm not the only person who has thought of that.

But...since I pointed it out....does that make me a terrorist sympathizer??

I really don't think it would.

All it would manage to do is to create more " martyrs " for the terrorists.

I believe we need to understand HOW this enimy thinks, then we can better understand what to look for. Thier mindset is totally different than the west. we are too concerned with "playing nice"! jmho.

Yep. We're all worried about " offending " someone and sacrificing our freedoms to keep from doing so.

I am offended by someone who will sacrifice my freedom!

Then the entire government should offend you.

Bingo, we have a winner!

War is peace, Freedom is slavery, Ignorance is strength....
