An interesting article sent from a friend in Michigan.
In response to a Nigerian Muslim trying to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day, the government will now prohibit international travelers from going to the bathroom in the last hour before the plane lands. Terrorists who plan to bomb planes during the first seven hours of the eight-hour flight, however, should face no difficulties, provided they wait until after the complimentary beverage service has been concluded.
Also prohibited in the last hour of international flights will be: blankets, pillows, computers and in-flight entertainment. Here's yet another triumph in Janet Incompetano's "Let's stay one step behind the terrorists" policy!
For the past eight years, approximately 2 million Americans a day have been subjected to humiliating searches at airport security checkpoints, forced to remove their shoes and jackets, to open their computers, and to remove all liquids from their carry-on bags, except minuscule amounts in marked 3-ounce containers placed in Ziploc plastic bags (folding sandwich bags are verboten) among other indignities. This, allegedly, was the price we had to pay for safe airplanes.
The one security precaution the government refused to consider was to require extra screening for passengers who looked like the last three-dozen terrorists to attack airplanes. Since Muslims took down PanAm Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, every attack on a commercial airliner has been committed by foreign-born Muslim men with the same hair color, eye color and skin color. Half of them have been named Mohammed.
An alien from the planet 'Not Politically Correct' would have surveyed the situation after 9/11 and said: 'You are at war with an enemy without uniforms, without morals, without a country, and without a leader -- but the one advantage you have is they all look alike. ... What? ... What did I say?' The only advantage we have in a war with stateless terrorists was ruled out of order by political correctness. And so, despite 5 trillion Americans opening laptops, surrendering lip gloss, and drinking breast milk in airports day after day for the past eight years, the government still couldn't stop a Nigerian Muslim from nearly blowing up a plane over Detroit on Christmas Day. (I'm sure we are now safe because no terrorist could possibly be smart enough to figure out he has to act before the last hour of flight.)
