No More Terror In The Skies If Men Take Charge

[Vivian Blink]

How many of you have heard about the November 17, 2009 AirTran Flight 297 from Atlanta to Houston? While there is some confusion about what really happened, there is no doubt some passengers were alarmed enough to leave the plane when it returned to the gate. They believed a terrorist “dry run” was in progress. AirTran has downplayed the “alleged incident.” Were these men just messing with the passengers? I don’t know, but I’m not taking any chances. Were they scouting the reaction of the passengers for another group that has plans to carry out a future terror mission? It doesn’t matter. I refuse to stand by while a bunch of Islamic terrorists use me and my fellow passengers to make some perverted religio-political statement. I’m not going down in an airplane without a fight. I hate flying, but I hate crashing even more.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the Nigerian Muslim who botched his attempt to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner from Amsterdam. Some of the passengers took action and immobilized him. The guy was on a government list. His father had contacted government officials warning them that his son was dangerous and a possible terrorist candidate. It may be bravado, but “Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon.” Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano initially claimed that “the system worked.” No it didn’t. The people on flight 253 worked.

“We’re the government, and we’re here to save you”
Famous last words. There’s only so much that governments can do to stop terrorists who are committed to blowing up planes, buildings, people, and themselves. If a group of crazed men want to overpower a flight crew, they’ll find a way to do it or die trying and take the plane and its passengers with them. All it takes is a few razor blades, the panic of passengers, and the unwillingness of men to take matters into their own hands because they have been assured that the government is in control and everyone has been properly screened. I’m not buying it, and neither should you.
While I applaud the security precautions taken by the airports, they are not foolproof. Razor blades can easily be concealed. But who even needs razor blades? There are some very hard plastics and composite materials that can be sharpened enough to slit a throat. (Think how easily paper can cut skin.) These types of weapons cannot be picked up by scanners and “magic wands.”
It’s the presence of the security devices that makes us feel safe enough to let down our guard. Terrorists know this, and they will exploit it. While we’re relaxed, they’re plotting and planning. How many times have you heard “experts” tell us that the terrorists will not use planes again? Don’t believe it. They will continue to test the fence looking for blind spots and soft spots. A second wave of planes-as-missiles would bring commerce to a screeching halt and turn America into a virtual police state. That’s the goal. Hit us where it will hurt the most.

So what do we do?
While the government has decided not to scrutinize Mid-Eastern men out of fear of verbal and legal assaults from the ACLU and Muslim advocacy groups like CAIR, there’s nothing stopping us from doing it. This isn’t to say that there may not be home-grown terrorists trying to bring down planes, but odds are that, to use Ann Coulter’s phrase, it’s going to be a group of “swarthy men.” And it will take a group of them to do it. So if you see five or ten Mid-Eastern types, probably traveling without wives and children, be suspicious. If you spot such a group, size them up physically. Could you take most of them—man to man—in a fight?

It’s Up to You, Me, and the Guys Next to Us

I loved the cartoon. Isn't it the truth, we have a weak President, doing everything to destroy America. Down with the want a be dictator! I'am siding with the people protesting in the streets of Iran. They have already had their guns taken from them, and they still fight. We still have our guns!

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

The muslim terrorists take their lessons from their US democrat cousins . . . . . propose enough legislation that all of it can't even be read by the other side, if your a terrorist you'll attack at enough locations that no amount of security could EVER cover them all. Both read the same book, "Destroy The Christian American Devils". Both will be successful.
Of course, there is time to disengage our enemies . . . . IF . . . . . you get up off your platitudes and strike the first VOTE.
BE THERE in November, outnumber the enemy acorns.

Kathryn and Phillip, I really fear there will be more and more of these attempts, and as Gordon Ray's article quoted the piece of garbage BombPlotter as saying, "There are many more like me out there", and when they happen, if our POTUS isn't in Hawaii playing golf, he will probably be on one of his sightseeing tours somewhere else, enjoying his life at our expense!
Fortunately we have many ( as Ann Coulter put it, "swarthy" ) young men ready to take the "bulls" by the horns. I think everyone flying (and some find it necessary) will be on the alert and very observant.
Gordon Ray, thank you for your article from the UK.

[Kathryn Ball]

Thanks for this, Vivian. I have made it my practice to travel wearing 3-4 inch spike heels. If someone were to grab me from behind, I will pound one of these heels into his/her instep. If necessary, I will remove said shoes and aim at the forehead of anyone attempting to do great harm [can you say "LOBOTOMY" ???????]
While our government agencies....HS --Homeland Security suffers from regular attacks of political correctness and its leader, Janet Incompitano, makes public statements that are pure nonsense...the rest of us had better figure out a way to stop these bastards......PROFILE!!!!!!!!
SCRUTINIZEpay attention to suspicous behavior.......! If someone is flying from NIGER to AMSTERDAM to DETROIT, MI. on a ONE WAY ticket with NO FLIPPING LUGGAGE...........
at LEAST introduce him to a friendly, bomb sniffing dog, for the love of HEAVEN!!!!!!

Bomb Plotter says, "There are plenty more like me out there!"

Probably not a good time to fly anywhere right now.

By STAFF REPORTERS FOR THE SUN/UK

Published: Today

FAILED plane bomber Umar Abdulmutallab has bragged to FBI agents that there are more young men plotting to launch attacks on the West.
The 23-year-old Nigerian has told security chiefs of a sinister network in Yemen who are ready and waiting to strike.

The reports come after The Sun revealed that cops fear that 25 British-born Muslims are plotting to bomb Western airliners.


The fanatics, in five groups, are now training at secret terror camps in Yemen.



It was there London-educated Abdulmutallab prepared for his Christmas Day bid to blow up a US jetliner in flight over Detroit.

The British extremists in Yemen are in their early 20s and from Bradford, Luton and Leytonstone, East London.


They are due to return to the UK early in 2010 and will then await internet instructions from al-Qaeda on when to strike.


A Scotland Yard source said: "The great fear is Abdulmutallab is the first of many ready to attack planes and kill tens of thousands.


"We know there are four or five radicalised British Muslim cells in the Yemen.

they will be under constant surveillance."


The 25 suspects, of Pakistani and Somali descent, were radicalised in UK mosques. (gee, I wonder if we have any of those mosques here in the U.S.???)


Some had been to universities and studied engineering or computer sciences.


Others were simply former street gang thugs.

Monitored:

A Special Branch monitored them as they flew to Yemen, in the Middle East, from British airports in the spring and summer.


In almost every case, their tickets were paid for in cash and bought less than a week before travel.


The source added: "We know Imams would have promised them rewards in heaven for becoming suicide bombers prepared to kill Westerners."


Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson were being briefed.

Watch list ... Alan Johnson

Today Alan Johnson confirmed Abdulmutallab had been refused a new visa and placed on a watch list last May after applying for a bogus course.

Mr. Johnson said: "If you are on our watch list then you do not come into this country period. (I don't think the U.S. has those rules)

"You can come through this country if you are in transit to another country but you cannot come into this country and stay here."

The Home Secretary said US authorities would theoretically have been informed, and he doubted there had been a "hiccup" in procedures.

American officials have said Abdulmutallab was on one of their "long" watch lists, but was not banned from travelling to the U.S. (WHY NOT?)

Mr. Johnson also said he did not believe Abdulmutallab was acting alone.

He added: "We don't know yet whether it was a single-handed plot or (there were) other people behind it - I suspect it's the latter rather than the former."

Dutch cops are investigating claims that an accomplice helped Abdulmutallab board a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.


A US couple on the flight, Kurt and Lori Haskell, said they saw a tall, well-dressed man aged about 50 with Abdulmutallab on Friday morning at Amsterdam's Schiphol

Airport.


The Haskells have claimed the man did all the talking for Abdulmutallab and had attempted to get him aboard Northwest flight 253 without even a passport. (don't ya think maybe that should have raised a few red flags right there?)


Disappearance:

Abdulmutallab's family released a statement today saying they alerted security agencies two months ago after losing contact with him.

The Nigerian's parents described his disappearance as "completely out of character" and a "very recent development".

Abdulmutallab's family said they had lost contact with him while he was studying abroad.

The statement said: "His father, having become concerned about his disappearance and stoppage of communication while schooling abroad, reported the matter to Nigerian security agencies about two months ago and to some foreign security agencies about a month and a half ago".



Al-Qaeda in Yemen warned the West four days before Friday's attack that a bombing was imminent. (how about we start listening to these warnings?)


Terrorist Mohammed al-Kalwi issued the video threat in the wake of a Yemeni airstrike on a militant training camp.


Al-Kalwi was reportedly killed in another airstrike on Thursday.


President Barack Obama's administration is to review all airport security. (Oh, well that sure makes me feel much safer now - how about you?)

Lets see now, who is it that's always blowing up stuff all the time?

Why, I believe it is angry young men from middle eastern countries!

But political correctness won't allow anyone to single them out for fear we might upset someone.

Political Correctness is going to get still more innocent people killed, just like it did in Fort Hood, Texas.

Wake up people. The enemy is already inside the gates!!!

Vivian, we have just witnessed yet another terrorist attack during an airline flight on an American aircraft in US airspace by an avowed muslim. The muslim terrorist chose the holiest of holy Christian days, Christmas Day, the birth of Christ, to attempt to slaughter hundreds of passengers, men women, and children by igniting a secret hidden bomb. Fortunately the terrorist failed in his murderous attempt to kill innocent civilians . . . . . he failed just as our Homeland Security (airline security) system failed . . . . . no matter what the director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, tries to tell us.
My only hope is that during questioning of this piece of human debris, I hope they are using the,
"Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" perfected during the Bush administration.
