Cheney criticises Obama

He said something to the effect of 'the events of the Last several days has convinced me that the president denies that we are at war...'

Please... what would Prince Cheney have us do? Invade Yemen? Cheney really needs to shoot someone in the face again.

MEH......isn't this about the same as all talk show commentators criticizing the current prez? Isn't this the same as any current administration criticizing the former? I'm more concerned with the HSS saying the system worked when someone gets on board a plane with a underwear bomb.

True, but how do we start scanning for something like that. A liquid scanner???

Talk about justice though...burning your leg off, getting the snot kicked out of you, then being thrown in jail...AND your suicide bomb plan failed. Talk about karma.

They said the full body scanner likely would have found it, and also there is another scanner that detects explosives that would have found it...

I can't for the life of me figure out what kind of mentality is required to not only become a suicide bomber, but to make sure that if it fails but even slightly works, at the very least you'll get your nuts blown off.

True. In all honesty, I wouldn't care if security had to pat me down every time I went flying, if that meant my plane wasn't going to be blown out of the sky.

I Used to fly 2 weeks out of 4, and it amazed me that the people who were annoyed with security actually made security take longer. The people that were standing in line resigned to wait and get through as soon as they were able made things run a lot smoother.

I was in Newark about 6 months after 9/11, a guy blatantly ran under the rat maze and tried to get through the metal detector unsuccessfully. They shut down the checkpoint while a billion TSA guys came we stood there for 30 mins before anyone got through again. WTF are you thinking man?
