Make it painful enough and maybe people will stop balking on the "naked" scanners.
We need to ditch the damn fear of profiling or being politically incorrect. Let's see.... Muslim from Nigeria travels to Yemen then pays cash for a one way ticket to the USA? Takes no luggage??? Dad calls embassy to warn us his son has been radicalized in London by extremists and may be planning something on his trip to the US? I'm sorry, I might get fired if I give greater scrutiny to this potential terrorist. So, I'm going to go back to checking breast milk in baby bottles and making 85yo women take off their underwire bra's. No threat of profiling charges there!!! Did we learn anything at all from Ft. Hood???
And bring in the DOGS!!!
This guy was on a watch list and they didn't do a thing. I have relatives that have the same name as people on the watch lists and it takes an act of congress to get them on a flight. I don't get it. I guess the only way to get on a plane without hassle is to declare yourself a jihadist.

Problem is he didn't get on here. Are Belgian security officials that dumb that they can't see something suspicious about a one-way ticket paid in cash? Is our embassy in London manned by ninnies?
The stupid thing about Ft. Hood is that it wouldn't have taken profiling to figure out the guy is wack and should be relieved of duty.

I apparently missed it in real time, but did we have a bit of foreshadowing going on in that first picture? Or just mere coincidence?

I guess you can shoot an unarmed fleeing subject in the back if you're an FBI agent??? Doesn't work for us, we'd be in jail. Local law enforcement might even face charges. He'd be locked away for a long time if he was one of Bush's evil border guards. Or a Navy Seal.

Not exactly discharging a weapon in the line of duty. Now that they're convicted, if they escape the U.S. Marshals can shoot them if they flee.

Ken's secret identity is given away by his love for beer.
Seriously though, this guy is nuts...What makes him think it's ok to shoot someone for stealing his beer?
