Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems
Hugh Pickens writes "The Hill reports that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists will continue to look for US vulnerabilities, making tighter security standards necessary. '[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through,' Napolitano said in an interview with Charlie Rose. 'I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime.' Napolitano added she hoped the US could get to a place in the future where Americans would not have to be as guarded against terrorist attacks as they are and that she was actively promoting research into the psychology of how a terrorist becomes radicalized. 'The long-term [question] is, how do we get out of this having to have an ever-increasing security apparatus because of terrorists and a terrorist attack?' says Napolitano. 'I think having a better understanding of what causes someone to become a terrorist will be helpful.'"
The USA interfering in other country's business has a lot to do with radicalising terrorists. The sooner they realise that they're not the World Police(TM), the sooner everyone can go back to minding their own business.
It's too late to stop funding the IRA, but staying out the way of those thieving Israelis would be a good start.

Maybe it's time for us to stop being ashamed of our own bodies? Especially those of us who don't believe in any gods, why do we still support a taboo that didn't exist in many cultures before the spread of Christianity?
(And it's all to treat the symptoms, rather than addressing the root causes of the disease.)
The problem is of course just how politically incorrect stating exactly what "the disease" is. We all know it, and as you say, it is a matter of time until there are no alternatives left.
You can't allow people to adhere to violent, barbaric ideologies. It's not tolerant, it's moronic. Insofar as this is part of a "mainstream" religion, that religion must be eradicated or contained - before your own front door anally rapes you anytime you try to go to work.
It's not all religions - not at all - in fact it's not limited to religion. When it comes to bombings (and genocides) a certain political persuasion follows that religion holding the top spot quite closely.
A truly erroneous hard-left outlook, but stupidity is fitting given your account name. ... The primary driver of jihad is the desire to subjugate the entire world to the dictates of Islamic dictatorship.
Such busllshit. Apparently all you inbred mouth-breathing teabagging fascists are as dumb as Republicans. (How do you like them ad hominems?)
Do you actually know any radical muslims? (Any muslims?) Have you talked to a suicide bomber? The plain fact is that the vast majority of humans -- muslims, christians, or atheists -- really don't give a shit about subjugating worlds and craps like that, they just want to live their lives and raise their families. To get populations riled up to violence you have to invade their country and attack their families and communities. You know, like those 19 Saudi guys on that date that all you wackos fetishize. And like what we're doing right now in so many places around the world.
