Phew! Thank goodness they caught him!
Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow.

Mark, there have been examples of stupidity in every area of human endeavor. They don't hire MBAs to work security at airports. This is meaningless, just a poorly written rule at worst.

Considering the subject was born after the 9/11 attacks, I'm pretty sure he's innocent. :sombrero:

The POWERS THAT BE don't want the low-level airport security types using their own common sense. They'd rather a five-year old be stopped, than a terrorist sneak through. Again, it's a question of Type I vs. Type II error, and what the appropriate balance is.

On this one, I have a hard time taking the Bush Administration to task.

It was a complete waste of resources in every way.

So do what I told Aqua to do. Write a letter to your congressmen. Get involved. Change something. In a representative democracy you can't just vote in who you think will do what you want then step back. Got to get involved. Things like this may be pretty easy to get changed.

Mark, just because people come to something different than your paranoid fantasy conclusion does not mean they are blind or being deceived.

Oh I don't know. I doubt you'll see him on the no-fly list anytime soon.

It was a better pick than Yusef Islam.
