I had to share this one before I forgot it…

We were listening to the radio, on the way to the gym, and they were doing a piece on enhanced security at airports. They said that the President was giving a speech at Reagan National Airport and was also talking about a new aviation bill.

Cut to an interview that they conducted with an airline passenger in San Antonio, TX: The gentleman said that he had never really liked flying, but that he was feeling more at ease since the new security measures had gone into effect. He said how he had noticed the increased security in St. Louis, MO and another airport, but hadn’t noticed a change in the San Antonio airport. Next, he said something that made me literally stare at the radio with my mouth agape: “But they [terrorists] wouldn’t come to Texas, would they…?”

The naivete of some people boggles the mind. Unlike soldiers of the wars long past, the armies of our enemies don’t always coordinate their troop actions with our Day-Runners® and Palm Pilots®; part of the nature of terrorist actions is to strike when and where your enemy least expects it. Thus does it fall on us to be alert for threats from all fronts. If the San Antonio airport security is lax, someone in the Texas govenment should be made aware of the situation and steps should be taken to rectify the situation.

Just my 2¢ worth.

Peace.
