Nothing like punishing the masses to make it look like you are protecting people, when you are not. A perfect example of this stupidity is
Michael Yon was arrested for not divulging his
personal income.
Nothing like shaking down Granny from Saskatchewan to make it look like you are trying to catch guys like the
Eunuch-bomber. Other head shakers
1. forcing people to sit in their seats for the final hour of the flight.
- that will keep the terrorists at bay!!! No peeing.

2. No blankets for the last hour of the flight.
- freeze them out!
9/11 and the Christmas attempt was not about security at airports and all the other stupid things they are making people do now. It was ALL about people who were supposed to be protecting us doing a half-assed job of it. Both times the intelligence people failed.
At least Obama's administration has taken off one glove and has decided to profile people from certain regions of the world, even though they don't call it that.
Still they do it stupidly, haphazardly, idiotically.
The U.S. Transportation Security Administration has announced new security rules that include a directive for full-body pat-downs and carry-on luggage checks for people travelling from or through the following countries:
Afghanistan
Algeria
Cuba
Iran
Iraq
Lebanon
Libya
Nigeria
Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Somalia
Sudan
Syria
Yemen
Other passengers will see additional screening measures. It is now up to an aircraft's captain whether to require passengers to put away electronic devices during the flight and to remain seated for the final hour before landing, a TSA source told The Associated Press.
