The makers of the body scanners have said that the Underwear Bomber would NOT have been caught using one of the scanners and he also would NOT have been caught with the new pat downs either. That bit of information aside, I'm not even a terrorist, but after researching the scanners for just 45 minutes, it's obvious that that these new techniques aren't going to stop anyone who really wants to take down a plane. I mean, come on, more than 50% of the cargo isn't inspected, and of the cargo that IS inspected, most of it is minimal.
I think that the Underwear Bomber was never truly meant to work. It didn't take down an airplane, but it sure did stir up heated debate and have everyone, including the U.S. Government, spending their time spinning their wheels over airline safety. People have reacted exactly as the terrorists wanted us to.
Look, it's simple psychology. CHILD psychology. Any parent who stops to think about it for 3 seconds understands exactly what I mean. It's like starting a fire in a couple trash cans so while everyone is outside looking at the fire trucks and commotion, the thieves can slip into a few houses unnoticed and slip out with a few pocket sized items.
I'm telling you that if the terrorists wanted to take down another plane they would have done it already. I'm not saying they WON'T do it again, but they're not going to until we've calmed down. They want to totally disrupt our way of life and strip us of our freedoms.
And they have.
They win.
Now follow me on this one, while they have everyone focusing on the body scanners, just what do you think THEY'RE doing? Laughing at us and planning. There's going to be another attack and it won't be the airlines. We are SO vulnerable in so many places that we can't secure even if we spent 100% of our tax dollars on it. Don't believe me? Let me name just a few for you: the grocery store, the mall, the public parks, churches. What? You think these guys couldn't EASILY strap bombs to themselves and walk into these places? How about public buses? the subways in New York? No body scanners or pat downs there and there never could be.
In San Diego, they just discover THE LARGEST bomb supply cache ever in the history of the United States. Anyone truly think that is the only one?! That's right, while we're all worried about the government forcing us to either pose for Government Playboy or be sexually assaulted, THEY'RE planning the real attacks.
And those are the ones that will cripple us.
I also like to take a moment to, to put the loss of life on 9/11 in perspective. I want to share a few stats with you to prove just how much we are over reacting. Mind you, I'm not belittling the 9/11 attacks or the diminishing the loss of life in them. I just want us to think.
Since and including 9/11, just under 3,100 Americans have been killed by terrorist attacks. NOT including 9/11, less than 100 Americans have been the victims of terrorists.
From 2001-2008, the number of alcohol related fatalities in car accidents is 130,803. So with 2 FEWER years, for every 1 American killed by terrorists, 42.2 have been killed due to alcohol related car accidents. It's an average of 16,350 deaths per year. It's the equivalent of 43.6 Sept 11th attacks. It's one person every 45 minutes.
Got that?
Absorb it yet?
While 9/11 WAS atrocious, we need to keep in mind that in the same year, 17,400 people were killed in alcohol related accidents. That's 580%.
It's all been a diversion to get us looking in the wrong direction and KEEP us looking in the wrong direction. The REAL attack is quietly being planned and carried out right under our noses. Best if we stopped thinking and acting like panicked animals and start using that grey mass between our ears.
