its truely sad...one's freedom gets slighted for one's "security". but really what better options do we have? i wouldnt get on an aircraft where people and their bags havent gone through any kind of screening. you have kooks that put C4 in their shoes...underwear...and just came across this older report ( which was probably already posted) of them surgically putting them in animals! its a lose lose situation at best and i dont see it getting any better any time soon.

According the New York Post, the plot was revealed before two years, when the terrorists from the Al-Qaeda organization picked up two stray dogs from the streets and implanted powerful bombs in them.
Then they placed these dogs in kennel carrier and booked on a flight to USA from Bagdad Airport. On theBagdad airport, US soldiers, who were manning the cargo area of the airport, noticed that the two dogs were dead, before the dogs were put abroad the flight.
When checked for the cause of the death, they retrieved the explosives and the detonators which were stitched inside the body of the dogs.
