I Guess It's Times Like These.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Haven't had the chance to blog in a very long while, due to the death of my computer. I had no other desire to post whilst i awaited a new one, due to a new job at Best Buy! Hiphiphooray. But enough of the update, lets get down to our topic today:: Obama's awesome speech about the recent terrorist attacks on airplanes.

On Christmas Day, a flight to Detroit was interrupted by a person who decided it would be a fantastic idea to try and blow up the airplane. Smart guy, right? Not the bomber, Obama. According to Aol.com, he said that "the failed Christmas Day plot to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner was 'a serious reminder' of the need to continually adapt security measures against changing terrorist threats." Nooo way, really? Because last time I checked, security has been going down since 9/11. Sure, they check shoes and offer a machine that does an x-ray of your clothes to determine whether you're hiding anything or not. But, unfortunately, some are often stereotyped and selected for "random screening" at TSA's request. Well, TSA does miss a bunch of stuff. Like how all liquids are supposed to be in bags? I have left mine in my carry-on on accident multiple times and have not had it brought up by any security. Also, why is Obama so late in deciding that our national security actually involves OUR NATION'S AIRPORTS?! We should be less concerned with Iran at the moment, and more concerned with what's going on inside our borders. President Washington was probably a smart guy when he advised everyone to stay out of foreign affairs. Too bad nobody actually listened to him.

Anyhoo, now, someone finally decides our security measures need to be looked over. I certainly recall this being an issue a little over 8 years ago...don't you think we could have stepped it up a little then, and avoided this issue now? And would this guy have gotten on a plane if TSA had been decent enough to do thorough searching? If you actually paid attention to what you were scanning, you could have found something.

Suck on that, Obama-admin. Let me help you review the security and the staff involved.
