Shit happens. If you want the shit to happen less, stop bombing the shit out of other countries (if you believe the BCE official story) and stop electing criminals to run this country (if you believe any part of that story is bullshit).

There was an article not too long ago that basically stated that gay intellectuals are rather indifferent to Paul, and hate closet cases like Sanatorium far more due to their beliefs about legislating morality...Comment

If you accept the "boxcutters" part of the BCE "official" story of 9-11, then it would be relatively easy (as Thom Hartmann also mentioned this morning) to modify a belt buckle to conceal a razor blade and then attach it to some sort of handle made out of a non-metallic material. The belt buckle would set off alarms, naturally, but it would be visible, and thus probably not subject to any further scrutiny, unless there was some obvious tampering evident in the general screening.
The metal detectors, the wand (for when that fails) and removing jackets or possibly other baggy clothing is more than sufficient. I don't believe groping or radioactive porno scanners are necessary.

Whomever said the boxcutters weren't detected, but thought harmless? This was fucking 2001, not 2002....

The thing about the boxcutters is that it was a device that could only work once.
Pre 9-11 a hijacking always led to either being flown to the wrong destination or a stand off where you end up at some airport waiting to either get released or worst case scenario special forces killing the hijackers. It was therefore more sensible when a hostess got her throat cut and another one was threatened to appease the situation and wait for things to sort themselves out.
The minute planes started getting flown into the side of a buildings boxcutters no longer became a sufficient threat for a hijacker hence Flight 93.
Actually part of me wonders if box cutters would ever have been enough on a holiday charter flight out of Scotland but that's a different story...Last edited by Seshmeister; 01-24-2012, 06:30 AM.Comment

I was about to say calling your kid after Ayn Rand is like calling them Adolf but according to Wikki it's just a coincidence.
Hmmm
Despite his father's libertarian views and strong support for individual rights,[9][10] the novelist Ayn Rand was not the inspiration for Paul's first name; he went by "Randy" while growing up.[11] His wife shortened his name to "Rand".Comment

Randy is a semi-common texas name. I know a few people named that.Comment

The 9/11 flights were also not the first time in history that airliners were hijacked using knives. I'm pretty sure I've read about Cuban anti-Castro terrorists that hijacked an airliner using knives also. Secondly, the box-cutters were not the only threat, which included a fake bomb--more than enough to pacify most passengers by giving them a glimmer of hope they might be used as hostages on the ground...Last edited by Nitro Express; 01-24-2012, 12:40 PM.No!

I remember. As a kid I was lucky enough to get to go on a few family trips to Hawaii, London, Acapulco, & Cabo San Lucas. Everyone was smoking, drinking, enjoying the windows & looking out. (This was the late 70's early 80's) When I wasn't flying but taking or picking up someone, I would walk right up to the gate to wait for them. Now I drop them off in the parking lot & let them be alone for 3 hours before the flight.
Anyone remember PSA? The planes that had a smiley face painted on the front?“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment
