Daniel Phillips, I can see the reason why you're concerned that your name isn't anonymous, given that your name, Dan Phillips, is associated with being a liar and a rapist.
The legal wrong is shooting someone dead. Once it's established that that's been done, as it has, the burden of proof ought to be in the shooter to prove self-defense. So far no indication of self defense, every indication that it wasn't. Including the fact that he ignored the dispatchers instructions not to follow.
It's not my mistake. You didn't say American, you said "people" and "all passenger air accidents". And it would make no sense whatsoever to restrict it to Americans, unless you only care about the lives of Americans. The topic under discussion is flights which have other countries as origin ad destination, only some of which even pass over US air-space.
Car hijackings are not a cause of mass deaths.
Well they are in some parts of the world. But more relevant to your small world is DUI. Far more Americans are killed from that than air accidents, let alone plane hijackings. And yet hours are wasted on security to get on a plane but there's no checks before you get to drive a car.
Fundamentally, you're typical emotional knee-jerker. You have no appreciation of the statistics, of real risk.
If you want to talk about statistics, please mull over the fact that more people died in the WTC attacks than in all passenger air accidents in the past 10 years. By far.
Yes I do want to talk about statistics, and what you claim isn't even close to true. 2001 was high in deaths from aviation accidents due to the twin towers, but only equal to about 3 ordinary years.
Nevertheless, compared with other forms of travel air travel is still incredibly safe.
Your list of things that apply to car drivers have their equivalents to a higher level in pilots and aircraft maintenance. But there's no bureaucracy or checks to delay driver or passenger every single time they take a car journey. And yet they are far more likely to kill or be killed in a car than a plane.
So exactly why shouldn't similar improvements to aircraft security be undertaken?
The mind boggles at how you can possibly think that either car drivers are more regulated than pilots, or air passengers than car passengers. You're obviously not thinking straight for some reason.
When there is a record problems in area an attitude of complacency is NOT justified.
The record problems are in how long one has to wait to board a plane. And how much privacy is violated in doing so. The time everyone wastes on this is not justified by the real risk.
I mentioned the Foxconn barbed wire, which is a fact.
Of course it's a fact. And you thinking that there's anything unusual or wrong about a factory having fences with barbed wire on top is hilarious. You really are a cretin who's never seen a factory in his life.
And a liar of course. Let's not forget the fact that you are a liar. One who's actually more dishonest than Mike Daisey.
Never mind your emotional response at something you saw. What are the statistics?
Last I saw flying was still the safest form of transport. And the chance of a building being hit by hijacked plane is tiny. You're in way more danger driving, crossing the road, walking under ladders. etc.
These ever increasing security measures are not worth the inconvenience nor the cost.
How inconvenient is it going to be if every other country in the world insists on vetting all US carrier passengers flying over THEIR airspace? As a US citizen you might have to have your flight plans checked by several different countries for a single flight. And some of those countries not particularly nice countries at that.
You search for guards with guns and all you can find s barbed wire. LOL! What an idiot you are.
An idiot that's never seen a factory. Barbed wire fences are pretty standard everywhere. They keep intruders out. What, did you think they were to keep employees in? Are you really that insane?
Now why don't you man up and admit, that Mike Daisey lied, and you made a mistake repeating his lies.
Because whilst you don't do that, you're still a liar.
No, not at all like scottish. Closer to west country - the very opposite end of Britain. In this vid you can hear the best approximation to what the original pronunciation of Shakespeare was like, together with some information about how they know that.
Your wife might not know you're having an affair, but Google does. Better hope Google doesn't decide to monetize that knowledge. Welcome to the future.
No, just the ones that have proven themselves to be liars, such as yourself and Mike Daisey. He's admitted his lying, when are you going to admit yours?
Oh look. Daniel Phillips, the one who's still claiming Mike Daisey was right, long after Daisey himself admitted to making up all the Apple accusations.
Daniel Phillips ought to look up the concept of "telling the truth". He's still claiming that Mike Daisey was right, long after Daisey himself admitted to lying. Neither one has morality nor ethics. They're as bad as each other.

It does, or at least should, cancel out the "stand your ground" defense.

So far no indication of self defense, every indication that it wasn't. Including the fact that he ignored the dispatchers instructions not to follow.
If only the court system was being used.
It seems he's racist against blacks. His own race isn't particularly relevant.
You mean the paintshopped video still?

I never said consumers are intelligent. On average they're more like you.
My alternative is to stop ratcheting up the pointless security theatre.
Usually such arrangements are bilateral or multilateral.
But you're right, America is doing something here that they would fight against any other country doing.
Yet another reason America becomes the object of more hate.

Of course it's incorrect. It would be racism enshrined in anti-racism law.
Black helicopters? The 1990s called, they want your concept of paranoia back.

jo_ham, what you have to realise about Daniel Phillips is he's a follower of Mike Daisey. A liar. He has no morals or ethics.
