Re: Major nit.
Only an existing, police surveillance or a military warning system could have prevented the WTC destruction.
...The thing people like Nightey and especially Der Berk et al seem to forget was that there was already enough "security" at the airports to have stopped the hijackings. All we needed is for that "security" to have actually done their jobs...
BINGO! I haven't forgetten that, that is what I've been trying to say! That we aren't any safer now than we were then in regards to what the Government has done or will do, and that the concept of truly safe doesn't exist.
And I was adding that when I came to that conclusion, the only thing I realized from it, was it is your actions that keeps you the safest, by being careful and protecting yourself when you can, NOT the Government. I was trying to write it in a sarcastic manner, but I'm not good at that I guess. ;)
Ah well, I never was.
