Wow.....lets let them run us over!

So to stop terrorists from taking away our freedom and destroying our American way of life, we're going to... take away our own freedoms and destroy our American way of life?

Here's an idea: to stop them from "run(ning) us over", we'll just pay DHS, TSA, ATF, et al, to do it to us instead.

A wise man named Ben Franklin had something to say about those who would purchase safety by giving up liberty. It's a shame more Americans don't understand that.

Hmmm... "iflyabeech". General Aviation, I presume?

Tell me: who checks you, your passengers, or what you load into that Beech before takeoff, to make sure you're not carrying a full load of avgas and dynamite on a kamikaze mission against an innocent civilian target?

....*crickets chirp*....

Nothing stops you from doing that, except your human decency.

A car bomb wold be totally ineffective as a weapon of terror, compared to a Twin Beech taking off from the GA side of Love, and crashing fast and level in a suicide bombing through the Southwest concourse.
