Freedom Flys

Tyranny persisted after the dark day.

It did not come from outsiders or attackers.

It came from the people with power.

Of course they talked about safety.

Safety from citizens, safety for citizens.

In a sense it is just another way for control.

The people protest nothing is done.

Security it seems often comes above safety.

Detainment and profiling is the norm.

It seems in a time of crisis democracy slides toward dictatorship.

There are some who wish to be secure and free.

It is they who allow basic freedoms to be restored.

The slide toward democracy begins.

A planes safety

Liberties at stake in an explosive time.

A plane, symbol of power  and might is now secure

There are kindhearted people risking the security.

A bureaucratic organization is hated and despised.

The act passed the plane is no longer secure.

No knows what is right.

Should people be life be risked but give freedom?

Should freedom be sacrificed for the greater good?

The people have spoken, freedom must be protected from foreign and domestic enemies.

The decision is not passed likely.

There are those who are angry.

Keepers of the sky they are the ones who lives will be risked.

They rightfully hated the decision yet wish to drawn in nature given liberties.

The Wicked War is Over!

The war in Iraq, often called the “War on Terrorism,” has taken its toll on Americans. From stringent TSA security protocol to the loss of love ones, millions of Americans have been affected by this war. A point of contention for many people is the fact that U.S. forces are still present in Iraq.

In matter of fact, one of Obama’s promises during the 2008 election was that he would remove all U.S. forces from Iraq. (This promise has still not been kept.) Obama has withdrawn MOST of the US forces from Iraq but 11000 still remain. The Obama administration has stated that all US forces must withdraw from Iraq by 31 December 2011.

This removal is happening right now with US forces passing the responsibility of Iraq onto the Iraqi Army and police force. These efforts are being hampered by the further instability of the region.(Nuclear Weapons in Iran for example) It will be very interesting to see if this removal is completed by December 31st.

Currently the U.S. is on track to ship all soldiers out of Iraq. Most of the soldiers leaving Iraq will pass into Kuwait, turn in their equipment and begin the long flight home. After the deadline only 150 troops will remain in Iraq.

Whether you support the War in Iraq or not, we are all glad to have our troops home.

“Private” Screening?

In the past couple of months, 16 airports across america have introduced a new system in the screening process or entering an airport.

I’ve been flying my whole life. From San Francisco to Melbourne, and from Phoenix to Indianapolis it’s safe to say that I’ve experienced a plethora of airports.Throughout my time flying, and even my parents for that matter, I’ve never been confronted with any issues involving airport security.

As the imagine shows above, the odds of being attacked by a terrorist while in flight is one in 10,408,947. It is very unlikely that terrorists are going to target planes. However I don’t believe that it’s because they are scared of the airport security and getting caught. If they were attempting to blow up an airplane they have already come to terms with death and punishment. The amount of security placed in airports doesn’t really make as much as a difference as originally thought. At least that’s my opinion.

I’m not sure if I’d rather have someone see me practically naked or have to pat me down. How about you?
