Frankly, it might be. Question is, how do we avoid falling into such a trap? Can we keep from sniping at each other and truly focus on the real problems in a controlled, professional manner? We need to.
Frank Luntz Focus Group Erupts Over Obama’s ‘Hostage’ Comment (Video)
My point, don’t let “just words” from an official (POTUS or otherwise) drive you to a point of no return in anger. It simply gives them the edge. And if you want to win the argument, keep a cool head.

I received the following from a friend this evening.
If you fly for business or pleasure, you should listen to this interview.
——
This is a link to the Jim Bohannon Radio Show from last night (12/6/2010)….just advance the arrow all the way over to 1:20:00 and hear Karen Feld’s horror story of dealing with the TSA. This happened in June 2010 at the Baltimore-Washington Airport.

UPDATE: And recently, this woman was arrested after refusing the “enhanced pat down.”
A question. At what point is a law a bad law? And when will the American public demand their rights to bodily privacy?

New Kind of Terrorism?
Stitching a bomb into the abdominal cavity made of plastic or liquid explosives – such as semtex or PETN was judged the best method.
Personally, I’d just as soon send them a pallet of Beans. They’d suffer first before exploding from passing natural gas.
On a related note, I received notice via a friend’s email of a possible new product in the offing:
Develop a booth that you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.
This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this nonsense about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.
This is so simple that it’s brilliant. I can see it now: you’re in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, “Attention, standby passengers! We now have a seat available on flight number…”
I’ll contact engineering tomorrow morning and get right on it.

A very interesting tidbit from The Professor.
Seems those bombs used by the motorcyclists (that killed the Iranian scientist) were recycled from weapons provided by Iran to al-Qaeda in Iraq.
UPDATEx2: Again, Michelle Malkin brings to our attention tomorrow’s likely nightmare vote (aka, DREAM Act).
I URGE YOU TO READ THROUGH IT. Especially interesting is the ist of ‘misdemeanors’ this DREAM Act will erase.
A few:
Examples of misdemeanors in California:
(1) Assault, CPC § 240
(2) Battery, CPC § 242
(3) Domestic Violence, CPC § 273.5
(4) Criminal Threats/Harassment, CPC § 244
(5) Reckless driving, CVC § 23103
(6) Possession of Firearms, CPC § 12020
An excellent status update by Michelle Malkin.
Be sure to remember those that vote for this – and vote them out come 2011 or 2013.
UPDATE: The cost of this DREAM Act is estimated to be near $6.2B.

Just in time for major Holidays.
Thanks, but no thanks, TSA.
I’ll drive. That way, you can keep your hands to yourself.
UPDATE: Apparently, the TSA in San Diego airport has definitely – gone – too -far.
And then there’s this.
Be thankful you aren’t this person. Poor fellow, no one should have to go through this.
What to do with TSA? Well, allow Texas to put all of those gropers on the southern border. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Maybe then we can assure the bad guys won’t cross our borders after humiliating them to death. sheesh.
UPDATEDx2: Another outrageous incident. Idiots all.
UPDATEDx3: A friend sent me this link. It describes the likelihood why Congress doesn’t seem to act fast enough concerning our unfriendly TSA gropers on the ground, before anyone can get to the skies. Figure there is probably something to this. What say?

As well as Chancellor Merkle finally admits.
Think our governments here (federal, state and local) in the USA will learn something from this?
Sehr interessiert.
(My German may be a bit rusty, but I am trying to say – very interesting.)
No kidding.
Somalia: 4 Die, 12 Injured In Militant Attack
Pregnant woman and children are among those killed, a witness told a local radio station.

And that is putting it mildly.
Who thinks up these things? Especially to try and convince others the planet is going to warm up so much it will kill us all? So to convince us they have to create an image of hanging children. Exactly how is that related to Global Warming?
Oh, I’m hot alright. But not the way they think.
Twits. Uneducated, moronic, simple minded goons.

Telling U.S. citizens not to go to Europe due to the likelihood of terrorists about to launch a “Mumbai style” terror attack that targets civilians for death or hostage taking.
According to ABC News sources, the terror plotters have moved through the surveillance stage, checked back in with al Qaeda in Pakistan, and have received the go-ahead to strike.
Meanwhile, Bill Maher shoots his mouth off, yet again.
