Exit Question: Will this get better or worse under a McCain administration? To me, the answer is obvious.

Thomas Sowell’s book Affirmative Action Around the World has an excellent and brief account of the Sri Lankan civil war; how the country went from a bi-racial paradise (much better than the U.S.) to a racial nightmare far worse than anything we have today. It is truly a tragic story and while one can have some sympathy with the Tamil Tigers (their story is quite different from the Islamites), the brutality of the war is such that I doubt it will ever find a peaceful resolution.

Is this the same group Bush looked in the eyes and saw Putin’s soul…woops, wrong Bush foreign policy. Well then, is this a group of 23 Tamil Tiger Terrorists that were given full scholarships at the University of Michigan…no,that would have been another group of court appointed privileged. Well then, is this the group detained four years and released under strict conditions after a federal appeals court branded the government’s case “patently absurd.” Yes, released by a Federal Appeals Court. Do I feel safer knowing this court is at work. Ya, sure, you betya.

For decades the IRA used the U.S. as a fundraising source. The Palestinians and Islamists followed that trend. Now, we have the Tamil Tigers finally realizing the U.S. still doesn’t have its act together. I’m sure Sri Lanka is thrilled about the news.

It makes you wonder how many other terrorist cells are in the U.S., working hard and raising money for their “bombers”. Gee, if we can only figure out a way to get them to form a Tamil Tiger Brigade of the Army… Sure could use their bombers in Iraq and Afghanistan, against Al Qaeda and militia. Can’t promise them “virgins”…maybe U.S.citzenship for their families? Better than the illegals.

Hey..if you want to raise money, come to the US. We have plenty of anti-American people here that are all to happy to donate to any terrorist cause.

From the latest (published) figures, over 20 Billion per year is donated to the terrorist countries to the south of us by people working right here. According to many accounts, a lot of those donors work for contractors on government contracts in places like…military bases. Go figure.

The sad thing is an ICE raid on every major airport in the nation would probably come up with double digit illeagl invaders being netted working in a secure area.

Boomer, exactly right, and a good place to start.

The average citizen gets to kick off their shoes, undergo stringent security sometimes resulting in a strip search while those that handle checked baggage or work in secure areas are on the side of our enemies or in this country illegally. The sad thing is an ICE raid on every major airport in the nation would probably come up with double digit illeagl invaders being netted working in a secure area.

What ever you do, do not ask them their nationality. That would be un-PC and violate their rights.

Isn’t this just dandy. Now we have another ‘terriorist’ group here. The ROP was not enough! Got to wonder, how many other’s are out there?

No need to be sorry…you’re absolutely correct.

As for people of questionable immigration status working in airport security…you may remember that’s not as rare as we might like to think.

I worked at a major international airport during HS and college. The number and type of people that have unfettered access to aircraft, baggage, service vehicles and cargo is downright mortifying.
