[...] “Whilte the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6m that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology,” the AP reports. “Congressional leaders rejected the idea, the latest in a series of steps by the Homeland Security Department that has left lawmakers and some of the department’s own experts questioning the commitment to create better anti-terror technologies.” [...]

It is not the administration’s intent to fight “terror”. Terror is a construct to enable the “new world order” to take control of the U S and all other gullible governments. For Bush, and his seldom seen backers, terror is a cheap, manageable device by which to control the minds of people. Don’t be diverted by these tactics. Just start tallying up all the gains that the totalitarian “a-h’s” have made since 9-11. More than Clinton did with his more subtle ways. Their biggest fear is that we will catch on to their psychological manipulations. Be on the watch. They don’t seem to have any other effective devices for manipulation other than fear and ownership of the public media. Watch for them to try to shut down the internet.

[...] And, of course, the same media who breathlessly played up this story last week will ignore this story for the most part, burying it in Sunday night coverage or on page A8 tomorrow. The Bush Administration gets to claim success for not really being involved in stopping a terrorist attack that wasn’t really imminent, the public gets its fears ratcheted up again, and true discussion about deficiencies in our security five years after 9/11 will continued to be ignored.

Anyone who falls for the nonsense the administration is putting out is a simpleton. Acetone triperoxide, which can indeed be made by pouring nail polish remover into a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, is the equivlent of flash powder and is, in fact, used in the movie business to give the illusion of an explosion without doing any damage. The so-called plotters are either idiots, dupes, or they don’t know how to read.

#64 – no, I didn’t see that particular one. but it doesn’t take too much to figure out that the “security measures” instituted since 9/11 are largely a sham, designed more to keep fear in the public eye than to actually protect anyone.

And thanks for the welcome back. After taking the Bar exam, I took the Mrs. on a trip through Europe to see some of the places I visited when studying international law. We flew back just hours before the new restrictions! At least we didn’t have to repack the 3 bottles of French wine we bought in Paris. And if we would have had to dispose of them, I’d have filtered them through my kidneys first!

I can see a resurgence in sales of hard-shell luggage. The soft-shell pieces don’t protect the contents too well. We packed a bottle of Sacher (chocolate) Liquor from Vienna into checked-in luggage. It was packaged in a wooden shipping box. The box was destroyed, but fortunately the bottle was still intact. So—if you’re going to check-in bottles of wine, etc., I strongly recommend you get some hard-shell luggage. Then mark it “fragile – drop with care.”

Right Wing going ga-ga over the NSA

Glenn Greenwald easily debunks the right wing silliness over the NSA warrantless program. Legal surveillance, not illegal eavesdropping, stopped the U.K. terrorist attacks. The WSJ offers up no proof, but the wingers fall in line.

Aviation critic Michael Boyd on our Airport security

Boyd was on MSNBC and he carefully detailed the absolute stupidity regarding the new airport carry-on rules while rightfully blasting Bush Administration, Transportation Security Administration, and the Department of Homeland Security.

The Terr’rists won’t get us, but gingivitis will!!!

Seriously though, it does make great press, to inconvenience thousands of travelers and force them to sacrifice tens of thousands of dollars worth of goods on national television to drive home the point that we must be afraid, and must all be willing to sacrifice in the global war on terror.

With great bravura He puts on an illusory show of force, while freight cargo still goes onboard unchecked.

More has been accomplished with a half-baked scheme than a well-carried out attack. Can you imagine the havoc one person could do with a bottle of Mr. Clean and a bottle of Clorox on a crowded subway?

It is only a matter of time before such an attack will happen, and it is more likely now that this method has garnered such publicity.

Eventually we will realize that we cannot combat terrorism with violence. We must work to eliminate the root causes. Peace will be attained. But will it be the peace of the graveyard, or the peace of enlightenment?

I used to work for a hardware/nursery-plant chain store > we kept pool acid at one end of the inside pool supplies and clorine at the other end > if the two were poured together it sets off an instant deadly gas that would burn your skin, damage your eyes, and sear your lungs causing an agonizing death! One day just before I arrived an employee poured the two together at the same time in a small pond > the gas filled the greenhouse and burned most of the plants seriously and the whole nursery had to be evacuated! Those two chemicals could kill all the passengers on a plane and cause it to crash!

One other thing of interest is that the press reports the ban on personal hygiene products will be rescinded in in late September, so this is to cover the period up to 9/11, so like I said a bogus contrived terror threat!

Post 57 Marie > dumping some of those items together if they mixed could cause a toxic gas cloud in the airports or a vapor that could irritate the eyes or lungs! The fact that the items are all dumped together proves that the terror threat is completely bogus! Removing the items is just for show and to instill fear on all the plane travelers!

Plus TOOTHPASTE has nothing to do with anything, so security taking it is plain stupid!

I have to go pick up my mother at the airport tomorrow. I’m dreading it…

She called to say that she’s leaving all her “liquids” behind her, just in case.

Typical knee-jerk Neocon reaction to what has already happened and not to general security as a whole.

Jay,
What do you think is the potential for explosions with all those liquids dumped into trash cans around the terminals?
This was the same kind of threat that was foiled in 1996; this isn’t something new. They said no one would have ever thought that a plane would be used as a bomb – when they already knew that it had been tried and written about many times.
America is not waking up to their lies; just when we think they might be rousing from slumber, a terrorist plot is revealed and Bush&Co are happy again.
Finally, HS is now saying that this ban on liquids won’t last too long.
What does that say about their credibility, and the reliability of their words.

Just so you know the press has finally reported that the supposed terrorists intended to bring contact lens eye wash bottles on the planes filled with peroxide, and like shampoo bottles filled with bleach, then mix the two chemicals to make a liquid firebomb of some kind?! The odd thing is that this would have nothing to do with toothpaste or chapstick or even a deodorant bar! Nor cans of shaving cream or even tiny bottles of perfume! The Bush Regime has used this terror threat to justify confiscating people’s personal hygiene products for NO damn legitimate reasons, but the security dopes at the airports keep taking the toothpaste from everybody ? Come on Americans use your brains and realize Bush is fooling everybody again!

The Bush machine has been asleep at the wheel ever since 9/11, and before. Please recall that following that eventful day all of the principals in the failed administration went before the cameras and gave out statements like “who would ever have thought the terrists would use an airplane”.

Well folks, let me put you straight. The FBI and other intelligence agencies are brimming over with that very prospect, yet nothing was done by the corrupt Bushies. Hellfire, a guy in a light plane even flew onto the WH grounds and crashed, trying to reach the presidents bedroom. Hit a tree instead.

Thousands of books have been written in the past 6 years about the incompetence and the lies of this administration, but are people reading them, and waking up?

The answer is no.This incompetents poll numbers are at 33%, when they should be in the minus column. Wake up and piss amurka, the world is on fire.

If W would have received an urgent PDB on this while at the ranch in Crawford, if he would have received a personal visit from the CIA indicating the potential threat, he would have told the agent, “OK, you’ve covered your ass now.” And he would have tossed the PDB in the wastebasket as simply an historical document, repeating the same old, same old.
Oh – wait — he did that before? On August 6, 2001?
