Is there are reason we need this 'extra security'? Aren't planes safe enough as it is now? I mean, before 9/11 there were maybe a couple of hijackings a year if that, along with maybe 2 or 3 major accidents a year that made the news. As far as I know there haven't really been any hijackings, especially in the US, for the past 2 years.
The point is, a person outside the plane can do far more damage with your average hunting rifle (say at an airport where the road goes right by the runway) or as it was mentioned earlier with a bomb in the terminal. Do we also really think that with all the visible security at airports, terrorists will actually try to do what they did on 9/11 again? We are vulnerable in plenty of other areas, where they are far less likely to get caught, and they might not even have to die in the process.
Right-wingers include (in varying extremes) free-market capitalists, Nazis, religious theocrats, fascists, racists, nationalists, militarists, and certain Populists. Three of the largest conservative parties in the United States are the Republican Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Constitution Party. The custom of left and right originated in the French National Assembly in 19th century, when the presiding officer had members of radical parties seated to the left, conservatives to the right, and moderates in the center.

"Right wing" does not imply the US.
That's great in the US, but in other countries (yes, there are other countries out there Timmy) the government doesn't necessarily work the same way.
