How secure are airlines?

by Simon in

in an article in the guardian:.

airlines warn of huge delays over blunkett security plan.

it says:the government wants airlines to provide the name, gender and home address of each passenger, together with the number of pieces of luggage they are carrying, before each plane can take off.. .

I would be interested to hear about Europe, but in America airport security is a joke. The security at airports is being conducted by the lowest rung of our workforce. Were talking about fast food level employees here. Couple this with the fact that any kind of intelligence is considered profiling and not legal. So in some cases 80 year old ladies are being strip searched and 20 to 40 year old males are being waved through. I think the terrorist just dont have any trained pilots left or they would repeat 9-11.

Test: Where do you stand politically?

by JanH in

sometimes political orientation is described through a left-right axis only, which is obviously inadequate as it tends to associate gandhi and stalin, and make pol pot a radical and hitler a conservative.. this is a good, short test that asks you a number of questions and places you on a two-dimensional axis.. take it here: http://www.digitalronin.f2s.com/politicalcompass/.

i took the test and got the following result:.

your political compass:economic left/right: -1.12. authoritarian/libertarian: -6.21. that is, centrist with a slight leftist bent, strongly libertarian.

Economic left/right = -.25

Auth. / Lib. = -3.44

I knew this would be about where I stand, I am a moderate. I noticed this board tends to swing left.

what is independence day a celebration of.

Interesting, Well happy 4th I will be spending it with my family down in the bay area.

My advice is that the Old Hippy is just attempting to hijack this thread for her own rants just ignore her and post what youre doing to celebrate our wonderful nations independence. Honestly if you want to rant about something start you own thread dont hijack someone elses thread. Terry <p class="editedBy">Edited by - jelly on 4 July 2002 7:23:17</p>
