all this "new security measures" is crap, and wont work.
if the bad guys want to kill people they will find a way to do it, and probable wont use an aircraft to do it.

frankly I have little interest in going on a holiday that starts with a cavity search.

USA, the land of the free?
or USA, we water-board all visitors, just in-case...

845596 2010-01-04 11:32:00 Have to agree Rob. I'm dumbfounded at the histrionic reaction in the USA by everyone from President Obama down over a guy with non-exploding underpants.

If it happened in Europe there would be a fuss but then life would go on.

I'm fond of the USA but they really do live in wilful isolation. This is a country where you need to be aware that any other person may have a handgun and use it. The dangers of ordinary life far exceed any risks from terrorists.

As for Guantanamo, torture, and rendition, I can only watch in horror at what is perpetrated in the name of "the home of the free".

Quite right...I have had a beard for er, around 45 years or so, it is now white so am liable to be mistaken for S.Abu Ben Claus, especially when it hasn't been cut for a while

+1. I know I'm not a terrorist but feel I shouldn't have to prove it, or be suspected of such if I reasonably refuse. It's a farce.
