Take a lesson from this incident.  If someone clears a security screening in one of our small regional airports, he or she will not go through screening again to make a connecting flight in one of the major hubs.  I’ve flown from Yeager Airport in Charleston, WV to make connecting flights from Chicago.  Once I cleared Yeager’s security, I was inside the security ring and could usually walk to my connecting gate at Chicago’s O’Hare without another screening.  Here’s a question for all of you old soldiers.  If you were going to recon the security of a regional airport, isn’t this how you’d do it - send a supposedly innocent woman through airport security, with banned substances dusted with nitrate residue?  I think our security was tested here at Tri-State regional.  I’m just curious about how many other small airports were tested.  I hope that the people who are supposed to know about such things are not writing this off as an isolated incident, but instead are alerting security at all of these one or two gate small regional airports.  We should also remember that it was domestic flights that were hi-jacked on 9/11, not international ones.  Following the breakup of the recent plot to destroy trans-Atlantic US Airliners, the British seem to have broken the code on who needs scrutiny.  Do you expect that we’ll toss away political correctness here before it kills us?  Our profiling victim was flying to Michigan.  There’s quite a large Arab  population there, not that I’m profiling mind you, and a couple of their all American young men were busted and charged with terror related money laundering and soliciting or providing support for acts of terrorism.  Their lawyers say they were singled out because they’re Hyphenated-Americans.  Interesting here is the large amount of cell phones they’re buying.  Cell phones that can make hard to trace international calls or remotely detonate explosives.  Do you reckon the New York Times will write a story explaining to Americans why terrorists might be interested in cell phones with which they can make hard to trace international calls?  I think The New York Times has trouble printing anything that might prove pro-American or in the best interest of our national security.  They can plaster Abu Ghraib on their front page for months at a time, but can’t seem to find much positive to say about the efforts of the U.S. Military in Iraq.  That’s why it didn’t surprise me when I saw their article cheerleading for the “rebuilding” efforts of Hezbollah [requires a free registration to read the article].  I suppose it would be too complicated for them to report on our rebuilding efforts in Iraq.  The information must be too difficult for their trained, professional journalists to find.  They do a great job of profiling American Soldiers to fit their boneheaded liberal views while spinning positive for killers.  Maybe Hezbollah will be there to rebuild New York following their next successful attack.  The Times is probably not on the terrorist’s target list, however.  No reason for them to destroy a helpful and free intel source and propaganda machine.  President Jimma is back in the news.  He’s doing some Israeli and evil American profiling for Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine.  The title of the interview speaks for itself.  It doesn’t take him long to lie about Israel.
