I am trying to understand why no one has ever looked at the big picture.
On September 11, 2001 the American people were caught off guard by terrorist deploying a tactic no one had ever considered - - - do you realize that within hours the true spirit of the American people showed thru over Pennsylvania. The people in a matter of hours had learned what had happened over New York and Washington DC and they sacrificed themselves without the help of their government for the good of the Country.
The politicians not to let a tragedy go unused grounded planes causing great economic harm to the country, and allowing the terrorist to claim a larger victory than what they had achieved.
The politicians try to make us feel more endangered than we are as that is the way to make us knuckle down and submit to actions that in any other context would not be acceptable.
Yes we were caught off guard - - - we had been so complacent that we ( as a people ) had never considered such an action. Will we be caught off guard again? In all probability yes, as the terrorist will always try things so atrocious that the normal man would never even dream of it in our worst nightmares. But we cannot control that, we can plan to be ready and act when the time is at hand!
I feel the TSA has actually made us less safe as the law abiding citizen will blindly follow the rules and then the terrorist will continue to try to attack us. If a terrorist finds a way to get a weapon on an airplane and the plane is full of minimally armed ( a rolled magazine is a weapon to a trained individual ) people there is a higher likely hood of success for the terrorist.
If the people who have been thru the legal system and are legal to have concealed weapons with them are on the plane with their concealed weapon they have a better chance of stopping the terrorist and would also make the terrorist think twice about even starting their action! I feel most of the terrorist are opportunist and feel empowered by our government disarming us. They are like a pack of wolves looking for an unattended flock of sheep. Put a few llamas or donkeys with the sheep and the wolves will look for an easier flock - - - they do not intend to die unless they feel they can first rack up a large number of kills!
The politicians seem to think they can appease the terrorist by saying we are now harmless so please leave us alone. Several years ago I tried to explain to my children why certain animals were not good candidates for pets.
“I don’t try to make friends of Rattle Snakes I find on the trail I’m using - - - if given a warning they are there I will simply avoid them and go about my business - - - but if attacked I will strike, and if it is a path that my loved ones are going to use I will try to remove the snake for the safety of those following me.”
