If you like internet privacy, you might be a terrorist!

You know how I know the terrorists are winning (even though most of them are dead now)?

Also curious why the pilots teaching them to fly, continued to do so. I mean the FBI agents knew they didn't want to learn to land, but the instructor didn't?

Have you ever asked yourself WHY we haven't had another successful terrorist attack?

Ever Vigilant

You guys seem to be forgetting the federal firewall that restricted co-operation between agencies. Instructors raised concerns and FBI agents did also but nothing went above certain levels. Think of JoePA and Penn State with an extra few thousand victims who actually died.

Lots of blame to go around but throwing the crap on the bottom tier is a distraction away from the real culprits.

Now if I can just get the black helicopters to go away...

In large part because they suck at building bombs.

Really? With bombings happening almost every week in other parts of the world?

Yes really. Several attacks on this side of the world have only failed as the result of piss poor planning or a lack of bomb-making skills.

Terrorist organizations are very splintered. Just because people with easy access to old ordinance can successfully use explosives, don't assume every terrorist can.

Oh yes they will. The only thing no one ever suspects is the Spanish Inquisition.

I expected the Spanish Inquisition once but it didn't happen until I least expected it.

I guess I must be a terrorist.

remember the guy who tried to bomb times square last year?

The government has classified me as a terrorist so many times these past few years, when am I gonna get to super terrorist?

Seems like every damn "suspect" list I've seen has been tailor made to me.

As though the federal government even knows that Cecil County exists. What the berkeley is there to attack here? The dam?

Nah, pretty sure there isn't anything but the drag strip to attack.

I'm pretty sure talking about attacking the drag strip will get you lynched.

Undoubtedly.

depends on what kind of drag

No dudes in womens clothes, although I haven't been to a test n tune night in a while, so I'm not really sure.

Also, I find it odd that for such a smallish county, damn near every website I've been a member of has had at least one person or someone who knows someone from Cecil.

It would be hilarious if someone showed up to a test 'n' tune in drag.

Sometimes, I'm still amazed we have the internet in this county.

Aroung my part of cecil, I'm surprised that armstrong hasn't decided to screw with the internet that much or that nobody has tried digging up the cables for scrap.
