I dont look for the government to protect us. If that
was the case, we would be a police state. I believe
the general public should police themselves and take
matters into their own hands. Thats what formed this
country in the first place. But as far as watching
planes take off and land, isnt that pretty trivial?
OIf someone wanted to take down a plane, they wouldnt
do it from a public park. And not with alot of people
were standing there watching them. Things have gone
too far in matters of security since 9-11 and the
government saw that as a stepping stone to tighten up.
Sure is sad that the terrorists won. Or at least got
what they wanted. Just one persons opinion.
