yoyoq writes "Homeland Security is looking for suggestions from sci-fi writers. "Looking to prevent the next terrorist attack, the Homeland Security Department is tapping into the wild imaginations of a group of self-described "deviant" thinkers: science-fiction writers." Here's a suggestion: 9-11 could have been prevented with locks on the cockpit door."

    I'm sure there are plenty of non-Muslim people who object to the foreign policies of Islamic countries/groups, and yet you don't see suicide bombings happening against them.

    No, the answer is not appeasement, otherwise then everyone will be threatening suicide bombings anytime they want something.

    Oh wait...that's right...six years out and the vast majority of goods shipped to the USA do not get checked!

    Maybe if our shitty economy turned arround and we started exporting more than we import...this task would get done?
