There are people out there trying to kill us, it's that simple.
I don't really understand where Tony Blair, sorry Liar, comes into this. Everyone knows the whole 45 minutes etc was just Bull s@@t.
This maybe all a pack of lies, but it does concern me and I will be watching anything that goes into the hold's of my aircraft.

I mention Tony Blair because to illustrate how politicians will fiddle with evidence and lie in order to get people to do what they want, or get backing for new laws being put through parliament. Or make people think in a certain way. Politicians don't think like the public and will use means to get results - the end justifies the means.
I would have thought already that there would be strict checks on freight put on airplanes since 911 - it seems a no brainer to me, yet it seems security was very lax - particularly small packages from Yemen to Jewish addressses in the USA. Don't they have any checks as the person responsible presented the suspect package to the freight company in the first place? For example sending a printer from Yemen to America - why bother when you can buy printers for £30 these days?
