No doubt I'm not the only one with thoughts about airline security. I will fly to the east coast in April, then to Europe with Alyce and Ben. And, of course, we'll come back.
I don't know if my thoughts should concern Delta/NW or TSA. Both have been in the news lately--and it has not been good.
NW pilots so involved with their laptops that they fly 110 miles beyond the airport where they're supposed to put the plane down. They don't have enough to do in the cockpit. No excuse.
And just last week, on Christmas Day, the Nigerian passenger on NW manages to get through all security in The Netherlands and US with an incendiary device on his person (I don't know what security measures exist in Nigeria, where he began his flight/mission) and sets it off as they land in Detroit. Fortunately, and I choose the word willfully, he was the only one burned.
Oh yeah, this guy, and the other one from Nigeria they "caught" the next day--they were both released from Guantánamo Bay and soon ended up in Yemen, today's terror/terrorist hot spot and Al Queda's protectorate, so to speak. For that I look to Obama and his policy to release all those people. I hold him responsible. Doesn't he know anything?
Yes, I have thoughts about it all. Don't you?
