I'm amazed by the amount of people who are willing to give up freedom in order to obtain a sense of security.

Also, I bet they are complete fashion blunders. Haha not only that, but is this somebody admitting the failure of airport security? Also, I bet they are complete fashion blunders.

I found the post linked through reddit, and this post seemed to make sense to me. Even if they do have the ridiculous theory that 9/11 was an inside job, it doesn't change that they got this post right! Mike – I don’t know much about Infowars.

On an unrelated note, did you just link to "Infowars"? Aren't they the same people that go around promoting that "9/11 was an inside job" bullshit?

Obviously old - refers to secure cockpit doors in 2003. How does thes the air marshall/FA know which bracelet to activate? What's to stop the 'terrorist' activating the EMD on all the other pax? This must be from the same people who said that all computers would crash on Y2K. Pure hysteria. There is just so much wrong with this it is unbelievable.
