Airport security and the fight against terrorism is a catch 22.
If we increase airport security by adding more measures, it does help because it is more catious, but at the same time, it disrupts lives, and the basic smoothness of things being run. We give up our freedom.
If we don't increase airport security, we put ourselves at risk.

Sometimes though, I think that we will be at risk no matter what. No amout of prevention could stop that, especially since terrorists would not do the same thing twice.

I really hate political correctness.
What is it about our society that makes it necessary to be PC?
And its not like it even helps any.

I mean, for example, calling people who are obese "generously sized" doesn't make it any better. Its obvious what the meaning behind it means. Just because its worded differently doesnt mean it takes away the sting.

Then theres the term African-American, which is just plain stupid, because it makes assumptions.
Not evey black person is African-American. There are British blacks, Australian blacks, and so on...
And what makes people think that all blacks are from Africa anyway? What about Jamacians?
