Threat

There is none. Repeat, none. Your shampoo is not a threat.

In the UK people cannot bring carry-on bags or glasses cases, magazines make-up, water or cell phones. How does this make us safer? It does not. It is however making flying torture and wrecking business for the middle and working class.

The rich fly in private aircraft, as would a well funded terrorist. From Saudi Arabia, say?

The "President" is on holiday again. So his safety is paramount.

Leiberman lost. He is pro-war. This frightens them. The "red alert" was pre-approved. If they have caught all the plotters why must we endure this idiotic and poorly thought out inconvenience?

Iraq is a disaster. Afghanistan is a quagmire. Lebanon is a disgrace.

W is polling bottomsville. Blair even lower.

Gas in LA is $3.65 a gallon.

End of story. They need us to be afraid. They have nothing else.

No one screens the people who maintain and restock the planes. The liquid disposal is a circus sideshow. And one more way to fuck with us.

The government, our government, any government is doing nothing to make you safer. They are like a corporation and have two goals: profit and growth. They have secured the oil and military revenue. You and your plans do not factor in. If we live in fear we will accept any amount of nonsense.

"9-11 changed everything." Mostly the amount of bullshit we will tolerate from our leaders from some, to infinite.

Throw the rascals out.

Peace, Greg
