Radish said, about 7 hours ago “Don’t forget it was the Bush admin that put TSA into place”-Radish, Bush did all he could as president to begin defending Americans from the 9/11 type using hidden small “weapons” in hijacking airliners full of passengers to suicide dive into US buildings of symbolism of our political system!-Bush did not write the rules for How To screen passengers!That was left up to appointed directors and “trained” hired screeners….apparently low-grade in education! TSA should be held to accountability for stupid rules and bad hires, IMO.-Radish, do you want NO SCREENING of passengers in mass transportation? And do you blame GW Bush for your own daily problems and troubles that afflict every human on earth?
David said, about 3 hours ago“If it were up to the NRA then everyone on a plane would be issued a gun.”-David, if everyone or even a few passengers on those 4 airliners had legal concealed carry weapons, I think it very likely that not one plane would have completed the mission!The 4th passenger group successfully prevented another federal building from being a target, even without weapons, because time gave them information via cell phones…and they had the courage to stand up to the terrorists. If they could have shot the terrorists, and there was someone aboard who could fly the plane, they might not have died in that Pennsylvania field, thanks to the War of Hate being carried on by the Religion of Hate…Islamic Jihad.
@disgustedtaxpayer – It is also very likely the planes would have still crashed due to explosive decompression when a gun went off and shot out a window. This could easily happen in a struggle or just bad aim.
From HowStuffWorks this is what they say about firing a gun on a plane:
There are four things that might happen if a person were to fire a gun on an airplane:
.1.The bullet simply goes through the aluminum skin of the plane and punches a small hole as it exits.2.The bullet hits a window and blows it out.3.The bullet hits wiring hidden in the walls or the floor.4.The bullet hits a fuel tank.

We sure are lucky that the terrorists didn’t win, huh?

And the Democrats who forced the stupid rules to be dumbed down for our own good.

Oh my, yes indeed… we need to ban those evil high capacity swiss army knives. Nobody needs a pocket knife with a scissors, corkscrew and a toothpick!
