It appears to me that your post is nothing but a troll for a bunch of angry

Ignoring the problem isn't going to work.
Appeasement isn't going to work.
Sanctions aren't going to work.
Cruise missiles lobbed in from a safe distance aren't going to work.
Turning the free world into a police state isn't going to work. (1)

So what *will* work? I think we all want to know. Don't just take pot shots
at the big bad US-Israeli axis. It's old "news"(2). Let's hear concrete
proposals.

I'm glad you have broken your own moratorium Larry, I have been waiting to
ask you if you still think removing federal involvement in air safety
regulation is a good thing? Do you think a deregulated air safety regime
would have prevented the hijacks on Tuesday – or even made them less likely?
I ask this within the context of my knowledge that the air industry
effectively watered down the proposals made during the Clinton administration.



1 - I just got back from GRR where I returned my rental and picked up my
car. Spooky. Dogs everywhere, concrete barriers, no cars within 300 feet
unless escorted, rental lots relocated to far away, Way overreacting I
think, but just a harbinger of more to come, I fear.

2 - "news" in the sense that it is an incomplete and largely false picture.

Show what is false Larry. Show us.

Defending the people is a primary function of any
governnment even under the most libertarian models.

(...) In fact he did. Whether air traffic control is public or private has zero bearing on how secure the system is unless you want to argue that private is more likely to be more secure. (23 years ago, 13-Sep-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
