So, I turned on the television today, and started watching Fox News. Or maybe it was CNN, I’m not really sure which is which. Anyway, the point of this article. So, the panelists in the studio are complaining about a bunch of journalists in Romania who got right up beside a refueling plane, they got through airport security, etc.
So, they’re complaining about the “disgraceful” security measures in Europe, about how we’re just asking for terrorist attacks. And this got me to thinking, what major attacks has Europe had to deal with in terms of aircraft. I can’t think of any. We had a supposed attempted terrorist attack last year, but who knows if that’s even real (we see a new foiled terrorist attack on a daily basis, the police/intelligence services are probably just trying to make themselves look better than they actually are). So, the US are complaining about our security, when we don’t seem to be encountering any problems. And our security isn’t exactly as bad as it’s made out to be, by these “experts” in the US (they’re news broadcasters, not experts).
When I want to fly anywhere outside my country, I have to arrive 3 hours before my flight leaves, and get checked about 5 times. I’m tired of having to put my goddamn liquids in a transparent bag. I’m sick and tired of getting scanned with metal detectors twice in ONE corridor (yes London, I’m talking about you). The fact is, Europe doesn’t need the same measures as the US, because Europe isn’t attracting terrorist attacks. I find it extremely difficult to believe that terrorist organizations put the names of all the countries of the world in a hat, and just happened to pull out the US.
The US is being attacked because the US is fighting offensive wars. They are invading other countries, as is clearly evident from the Iraq War, invasion of Afghanistan, and aren’t they planning an attack on Iran? The reason the US is being attacking isn’t because of Europe’s security, it’s because of the way it’s treating other countries and provoking citizens of attack countries to fight back in the only way they can.
The terrorist in europe aren't smart enough to fly a plane, so they stick to subways and cars, not as complicated.
