"Ultimately, though, the debate over whether to use the new scanners or not isn't a choice between privacy and sercurity - because we're not getting security where we need it - we're reacting to the last type of terrorist threat, not the current one or the next one."
- KT McFarland, Fox News 11.17.10
A GREAT follow-up to my blog post from earlier in the week...I LOVE this article...
Al Qaeda is not stupid and they are not going to give up simply because their last attempt was thwarted. And they're smart enough to find a new way. Our task is to discover these new ways.
And terrorists DO have a profile...why do we not use that as a way to combat their attempts? Let's not force small children, pregnant women and 99% of other travelers to be violated via invasive pictures or physical pat-downs.
Let's play some offense for a change...this reactionary stuff is making me crazy! And with all the backlash and public outcry...I wonder how long it will be before these x-ray machines are scrapped...anyone want to make any guesses?????
