But, it says, an airline ticket agent that checked in hijacker Mohammed Atta says Atta "reacted negatively when informed in Portland (Maine) that he would have to check in again in Boston." Atta "clenched his jaw and said ... with some irritation, 'They told me one step check-in,'" he recalled. The ticket agent recommended the United States hire "behavior profilers ... the way they do overseas,"

Tsa's Spot Program Not Scientifically Grounded Gao Told Congress; Tsa, Experts Disagree

The SPOT program is “a behavior observation and analysis program in which [TSA] personnel are trained to identify behaviors that deviate from an established baseline that could be possible indicators for terrorism or criminal activity,”

Tsa's Spot Program Not Scientifically Grounded Gao Told Congress; Tsa, Experts Disagree

Well, the TSA and the experts are wrong. Or, rather, the headline is misleading.

There is, indeed, no scientific basis to the TSA's spot program. No scientific studies have yet been made. That is all they are saying. If Congress takes away what you are implying, then we have the wrong people in Congress.

Barney's decision not to run for reelection is a start.

Barney's decision not to run for reelection is a start.

And only about 530 or so more incompetent congressional members and an executive administration that still need to be thrown out for allowing a 15 trillion debt and a 1.5 trillion budget deficit. That's not counting the $7.7 trillion in loan guarantees to troubled banks or the $115 trillion in unfunded entitlement expenditures we now have as an anchor around our collective necks.

I'd love to see the present administration go, but, man you have no idea what you are talking about.

Are you saying there aren't 435 member in the House of Representatives and another 100 members of the Senate? Are you saying they aren't responsible for creating the debt, deficit, and unfunded liabilities? Or are you saying that the US isn't $15 trillion in debt with projections to grow to at least $21 trillion in the next four years? Are you saying that the US doesn't have a $1.5 trillion budget deficit against $2.4 trillion in total receipts? Or do you not understand that the total unfunded liability (no source of revenue to pay for the projected obligations isn't $115/$116 trillion)? Or are you saying that thhose unfunded liabilities are not made up of Social Security, Prescription Drug, and Medicare/Medicaid expenditures?

Austerity, now, will only lead to a downward economic spiral. More jobs will relieve the deficit and debt.

Cutting taxes while funding three wars was the catalyst to our present problems. Hobbling our economic and environmental watchdogs certainly did not help and allowed much of our infrastructure to degrade to unacceptable degrees, which should provide one of many solutions to our joblessness. Put people to work and you will be on the road to recovery.



-- There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

We have had a balanced budget in five of the last sixty years. The problems go back way past any of the previous ten congresses and four presidential administrations. We have a 9% unemployment rate and a underemployed rate much closer to 20%. Putting all of those people back to work requires a growing and expanding economy which even the liberals admit that can't happen by raising taxes. Taxes kill economic activity and punish the very people who are needed to take risks and hire people to make them more money. If taxes are too high economic activity slows which only widens the gap between the lower income segments of society and the ultra-rich segments. The best and most proven way (as shown by both Reagan and Kennedy economic policies) is to cut taxes and get government out of the way of free enterprise.

Cutting punitive income and corporate taxes always leads to more revenue to the federal treasury. Raising taxes always lowers total tax receipts. However, cutting the employee portion of Social Security taxes does nearly nothing to spur economic activity (as seen in 2011 by Obama's plan), because those cuts do not translate into new jobs in the macro economy. That cut did not aide businesses or entrepreneurship who still had to pay the full portion of the SS tax and thus had no additional funds to hire more workers. Besides, no employer is going to hire a permanent employee with a temporary payroll tax cut, even if it did benefit the employer side of the payroll.

BTW, we haven been at war since WWII. Let me know when Congress issues a declaration of war as required and defined by the Constitution. Until then you just have a bunch of politicians acting contrary to further entrench their own power.

Tell that to the families who lost loved ones in Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

That war wasn't declared won't bring back the ones who died on those battlefields.

If you don't like your Congressperson go buy another one.

Still not a war. That's why on many news reports from back in the day you hear phrases like "The Korean Conflict", "Viet Nam Conflict". WHY? Because we weren't officially at war.


Anyone who has read on anything about how money works and looks beyond Keynesian Economic theory to the Austrian School of Economics you become enlightened. It should come as no surprise that since creation of Central Banks, fiat Currency that the end result is nearly non stop military action, Economic Depression, various bubbles, Debt and the consolidation of wealth in a few strong hands. Some Congressmen like Ron Paul can't be bought.

You speak fluent gibberish.

I thought the media was your enemy?

Those weren't wars. They were, Uh, disputes. Like marital arguments killing a couple hundred thousand people.

Under the Law of the land, that last WAR we fought ended on September 2, 1945. Under the terms and conditions set forth by the COTUS, the United States of America has not been at war since the Japanese surrendered on the above date.

There are UN resolutions, NATO resolutions, Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, etc etc ad nausea, what there is not is a formal declaration of war from the US Congress or even so much as a request from a sitting POTUS to declare one for any military action that caused the US to lose lives.

There is no way around this, The COTUS is clear as of now on this.
