I once had a snail-mail debate with Southwest Airlines Security manager
who told me everything they did was for passenger safety. I told him (as
I have posted elsewhere) that airport security is a fraud (note all the
guns that are found *after* the plane lands which you have heard on the
news).

I can't recall if I gave him this scenario, but I have often said that
it doesn't take a gun to hijack a jet. All you have to do is have two or
three guys waltz into the cockpit and club the pilots.

Viola! You have just taken control of a multi-million dollar buzz bomb
from hell.

I wish I could claim to be psychic or just really, really smart. But,
instead, this is just all common sense. Something that is lacking in our
leaders.

Look for our liberties to take a major hit (or least an attempt) after
this.

We must stay vigilant and tell any usurpers to go to hell.
