Dear George,
We have a problem. As time passes without a terrorist incident, your GWOT is slowly passing into fantasyland. It is a dying flame, barely flickering, and you know as well as I that this flame is the source of your unitary power. Without it, you’d have been a one-term president, like your father.
However, there is still one small puff of breath keeping the flame from going out completely, and that is airport security. George, it is pure genius how you have been able to take the dumb acts of idiots and lunatics and use them to tighten the security screws.
For example, one look at his mug shot tells you Richard Reid is mad. He thought he could blow up an airplane with some plastique stuffed in his sneaker. They guy packed the plastique and a detonator in the lining of his shoe. Shoe linings carry a limited amount of explosive material. They caught him while he was sitting with his sneaker on his lap, making repeated attempts to light a fuse and sending the odor of burnt matches through out the cabin, attracting all sorts of attention. They jumped him before he could get the fuse lit. Had he succeeded, the greatest damage would have been to his balls.
However, that doesn’t matter. Mr. and Mrs. America still have to take their shoes off before passing through security in their stocking feet.
Then there were the British retards who planned to blow up airplanes by with liquid explosive smuggled on board in bottles of shampoos and aftershave lotion. It didn’t deter them that no such liquid exists, except nitro that is so unstable it would have exploded during the cab ride to the airport. Nor were they deterred by the fact that their combined brainpower couldn’t mix a martini, let alone create a stable liquid explosive.
Americans still have to pour their shampoo and other liquids into little plastic bottles before they can take them through security.
Every time Americans fly, TSA reminds them that a terrorist threat still exists when they take off their shoes, put their belts, change, watches and cell phones in the little plastic bins. The only way they can keep their aggravation in check is resignation. This passive resignation keeps your GWOT alive.
If Americans were as paranoid about driving as they are about terrorism, no one would get behind the wheel until they’d donned a flame retardant suit and a crash helmet.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
