1. Live 30 Miles from Ground Zero

They lost ALL credibility with me after the PLASTIC AND DUCT TAPE fiasco.

2. Yikes! Does that mean that the airport security will

confiscate my coveted presentation "laser pen" with my BIC lighter when I check through Airport security?

Instead of worrying over all the potential acts of "evildoers", how about we reexamine our policies so that we can adjust, and just perhaps "they" (the so called terrorists) may NOT hate us so damn much?!? Oh, no - That's feminine compromise ... yep, that dreaded word "appeasement" is rearing it's ugly head.

Like the true communicative art forms we know as negotiations and diplomacy, the bullies at the * Administration will have nothing with that "girlie man" approach to foreign policy.

Yikes!

3. Well I am not flying, so I am not worried.

Beam me up Scotty

8. Follows the usual pattern

Anything we accuse others of, our own government is guilty of.

"(Washington, July 29)_Human Rights Watch today warned that the Pentagon is developing laser weapons that could undermine a new international ban on blinding lasers, which takes effect tomorrow. In a letter to Secretary of Defense William Cohen, the rights group said that numerous U.S. laser programs, now in the research and development phase, may not violate the letter of the ban treaty, but could subvert its purpose and intent. Human Rights Watch warned that unless the U.S. upholds the ban more effectively, American servicemen themselves could face blinding laser-type weapons on the battlefield.

<snip>

... In one notable example, a California-based company, Light Solutions, is reportedly developing a dazzling counter-terrorism "green laser" for the Army on behalf of the U.S. Secret Service. A secret "black" program, this laser is intended to defend the White House and other government buildings in Washington from someone who might employ a light plane or helicopter in an attack."
