TSA wants to double security fee

Actually, those interred lost most of thier property and businesses as a result, so the interrment did result in economic losses and loss of businesses for the americans citizens who were forcibly relocated to these prison camps. It is important to note that we didn't round up every german american and put them in a camp either. Heres a link that talks about the economic damage the Japanese americans suffered: http://aasreadingoutline.blogspot.com/2008/12/property-los.html

And yes looking back it was the wrong policy but did they know that at the time ? If you lived then can you say for sure that you would have spoken out ?

Is that what you are saying?

I think that's what you were saying. If they cant detect one kind of explosive then why search for any.

Actually my grandmother remembers that time and she recalls that her father was vigorously against it. However, the point of my post is to remind us that aside from the loss of their rights and being incarcerated for NO crime, they also lost thier business and property, so while our camps were not "extermination" camps, they were still based on fear and mistrust of people not like the majority, and it caused irreparable harm. It is that same type of phobia that created an atmosphere in which germans became open to the idea of jewish removal (in various forms).

I have no idea why you would think thats what I am saying, I merely shared information on what cannot be detected, and gave no opinions.

Sorry the way it sounded was some "expert" said we cant detect all explosives so why look for any.

The expert was saying that our current methods are not looking for the real dangers. He said that it is not really a worry that terrorists will manually crash a plane as the pilots will not open the cockpit for any reason and that we need to be concentrating on using/finding methods to detect these hard to detect explosives.

I'm sure someone is as someone is always looking for a better mouse trap.
They can always surgically implant a bomb inside someone so should we give all passengers a MRI ?

Please tell me you're not one of those that think the government did 9/11.

Did? No. Let it happen? Yes

Same as Perl Harbor.

Should we, or is that to much? What do you think? I think we passed to much a long time ago.

Well I think this will go to far off topic but it does explain your mind set to me.
