We all remember or I hope you have heard about the 70′s ,80′s,90′s and the huge number of hijackings that happened .
Israel managed to act by locking the cockpit doors and putting armed security on flights 30 years ago. Screening baggage is nothing new and yet even with Israel as an example it still took people asking how could a handful of terrorists gain control of an airplane and fly them into buildings .
We could have stopped it but that would have had an effect on our foreign policy . No more radicals seeking to go to Cuba would have been able to take control of a plane or terrorists from various radical groups .A clear orderless gas could render passengers and terrorists alike unconscious .
Yet for years we did nothing and why was this ?The government controls the airlines .
Maybe to instill fear in Americans so a police State could slowly be installed .
Now we need cameras on every corner , our luggage searched and our bank accounts and phone calls reviewed , all in the name of security .
We even have people ready to allow torture if someone kidnaps a child or to get a confession from a murder suspect, rapist or drug dealer . After all they broke the law right .
Can you think of a better solution ? I have !! please tell me yours .
