Increased Security

“All this crap about needing new laws and all the "needed" databases etc is a bunch of crap.

What this country needs is people who will do their jobs correctly and ways to guarantee accountability.

9/11 happened because the agencies who were responsible for protecting the public were negligent.

If people had been doing their jobs correctly it shouldn't have happened.

We are spending Billions of dollars (as opposed to Millions of dollars before 9/11) to protect ourselves from radicals carrying $2.00 box cutters (and that's the premium model).

Think about it!!”

“Well you won't like what I say (And I apoligize) but I'm entitled to an opinion. It's OK if you don't agree. I believe they DID know. US capabilities are extensive. Bush needed the poll boost & a reason to attack Iraq. I don't believe that they thought the attack would be so severe, after all a B29 hit the Empire state building in a fog with little consequence. Nobody thought the twin towers could be brought down. I could be wrong (it's happened before)but honestly (and I said it years ago too)this is what I believe.”

“I kind of like this new color-coded airport security system.

Apparently, travellers will be color-coded. Green means regular security. Yellow means increased security. Red means the traveller won't be allowed on the plane.

I think that Matt should institute something similar on trailtalk.”

“Good point Redhawk. I think anti terrorist fuding was 9 billion a year before 911. The money just seemed to create bloated bureaucracies. Run like fiefdoms.
I won't involve our president in
conspracy theory until the proof is solid.Lot of bull flinging during election year.”

“I really don't want to believe that the government saw it coming catshiker. However, for the conspiracy buffs, I offer this line from the PNAC's 'Rebuilding America's Defenses', a position paper arguing for transforming our military forces:

"Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor."


Check out the list of project participants (page 90) for insight on why this is an important document.”

“One thing that is FACT is that during Clinton, the airlines asked for and received large amounts of cash to improve security at the Airports. The airlines wasted that money, then asked for more, threating to go belly up if they didn't. It was real stupid to have the airlines in charge of airport security, it should have been in the Government's hands in the first place. Blame anyone, blame the airlines.”

“Was Pearl harbor staged to get us
into WWII. ?
Beirut bombing for the Grenada Invasion?
I'll allways have a doubt in my mind.
But 911..I agree with RedHawk.”

“Have a sunny code yellow day!”

“histroy will only tell if what cats sez is true. It ALL comes out in the end, but by then, it'll be too late. I don't thing 9/11 happened for one or two things, I think it was a collection of errors that allowed this to happen. Feel free to rehash.....”

“The Bush administration announced today that they have developed a new system to seal our borders against interlopers...
