Does this make sense?

I went to Autin Texas this past weekend. My friend who i was traveling with (seamoors) had to remove his shoes and belt to get through the metal detector.... No Warrant

They ran a test on my bag, some cotton swab or something that detects gun powder or some such nonsense....... No Warrant

People go through and randomly have their bags opened and emptied and searched...... No Warrant

So ordinary American citizens are subject to warrantles physical searches at the airport, and we have the ACLU complaining that the NSA is listening to the phone conversations of terror suspects without warrants? Oh and they're also complaining about the use of equiptment to detect radiation outside of mosques.

So I'm going with my president on this one, to me it doesn't make sense that this is even an issue.

Here's something else though......... Does this make sense?

This president is committed to our national security, we need to remove our shoes and belts at the airport etc. etc. Yet an estimated 3 million people per year cross our southern border illegally. The minute man project has shown that we can stop the flow of illegals by just having a presence there yet this president won't do anything about it, and his homeland security cheif says he hopes to have the border situation under control IN FIVE YEARS! What???? Does this make sense?

Dont forget to look to the north...people from all over the world fly into Canada and just stroll across a bridge into th U.S. ... Once in Canada after two days and a postal address you get a gov. issued ID and a map to the falls, "be sure to see them from the American side"...my friend used a library card to get back into the U.S. when he lost his wallet drunk on the wrong side... Those red suit wearing Mount-me bastards didn't even look twice

Whats crazy about the Candian Border is a few years back people seeking political asylum there were given jobs as airport screeners. How that makes sense I have no idea.

Leave the Canadians alone...ya hosers. Most people in the world don't have taylor ham and they have to settle for Canadian Bacon. Would you take that away from them? If so what will they put with their eggs & cheese on a roll? What's that, eh? You didn't think about that did you?

Just an aside that actually has to do with this post but you don't want to know what they do to me when I have to fly? Things have gotten tougher but I agree that it is on the side of right...no one has a problem with the government listening in on terrorists' conversations though...it's when they listen in on American's conversations. As for the boarder situation, I think whatever has to be done, needs to be done now, not in five years. Frankly (and I wish you would stop calling me Shirley) it has gone on too long as it is...

welll, better late than never...
by then we won't have any privacy, rights or anything. i can run around and run guns to anywhere i want.

think of it as a free-er economy. we are taking mexico's labor and giving them...bigger companies and their customer service business.

(sorry, it's a combined example).

Wait, wait, I got it!! It's not supposed to make sense. It's the government.

Why do we have separation of church and state with religious oaths and sayings in government places??

Why does Congress have a Congressional Chaplin??

Why does the phone always ring when you're in the bathtub??

Ignore that last one.

two canadians are playing `twenty questions` (the game where one person thinks of something and the other asks questions to find out what it is). the first canadian has to think of something for the other to guess, so he thinks of moose c*ck. "ok, i`ve got it," he says. "ask me questions."

the second canadian thinks and says "umm... can you eat it?"

the first canadian laughs and says "well, i guess you could eat it!" and the second canadian says:

"is it moose c*ck?"
