How in the fuck do they miss people hijacking 4 fucking planes????? I'll tell you how, because they are so busy chasing stupid shit like AS. All of the recent cracking down on AS should have been redirected. I know it may not have made a difference but it's still bullshit.
EXAMPLE: I go out to a nice restaurant and drink 2 glasses of wine with my excellent Italian meal. I swerve on the way home because I am getting a blow job from my date. I get pulled over and get a DWI. BUT my fucking neighbor is on crystal meth and freaks out every weekend and her parents call the cops on her almost every weekend. Do they do anything? NO. They can't see the forest from the trees. So concerned about little shit that the big shit gets right past them. Probably the same thing in airport today. They confiscated someone's Palm pilot but let the next guy go thru with a knife or something. I'll bet they confiscated the AS and let the plastic explosives go.
