Maybe you missed it.

You think Obaminable struts around with a pistol strapped on?

That is what you mean by "weapon" .... a firearm? Originally Posted by LexusLover

All these wonderful rants.

So, what is the simple (simplistic) solution that would prevent these things? This forum is 90% whining little boys with a gun-phalus problem and a hard-on for either the current or former president. Originally Posted by TGBeldin

You're an idiot. The "security procedure" at the time was to let high jackers take control of the airliner and negotiate with them once they landed. The updated TSA "show" is generally just smoke and mirrors.

It wasn't that long ago that a person could go into a U.S. airport and board a plane with absolutely no checking for weapons of any kind. Show your ticket, get on the plane.

Life is simple in the trailer park isn't it? "My rock trumps your paper!"

Again, you're assuming that the people who have established gun free zones don't know what they are doing. Example -- guns are not allowed at the University of Texas - Austin in classrooms, dormitories, or offices. The President of the UT system supports this, the President of UT-Austin supports this. The majority of the faculty and administration support this. The majority of the students and parents of the students support this. The Austin police and the UT security support this. Simply put, the decision was no made lightly. Again, I have absolutely no problem with allowing guns in schools if people believe it is in their best interest. So far, very few do think that way. Why have very few schools allowed their staff to carry guns after the killings at Columbine and Newtown? Why have very few colleges allowed guns on campus after the killings at VT? Why has the military not allowed the average soldier to carry guns on military bases after the killings at Ft. Hood and in the Washington Naval yard. I guess it must be that liberals are in charge.

And in answer to another statement, yes, doors open outward for both convenience and the fire code. They support each other. The point is that a long time ago they didn't want a rush of students getting a door in the face trying to get out of the class room. That was before that the authorities decided that they want the students to shelter in the classroom now. So the times have changed.

... you ball-less TOOL! Here is just ONE EXAMPLE OF YOUR LIBERAL WHINING:

Totally incorrect conclusion.

Probably NO ONE, prior to 9/11, was out there asking for MORE screening at airports. Were we naive in thinking that such a disaster could occur? Certainly. But you tell me who was out there asking for more screening prior to 9/11. You? Originally Posted by SpeedRacerXXX

As they said, God created all men...Colonel Colt made them equal.

Who's opinion? Al Gore's ............ John Kerry's ....

Did you vote for them? Instead of George Bush?

Sir, I have a pair of balls. I don't know what you call yours, and don't care.

What junior-bird-man fails to mention in his mono-whine about UT and Ft.

Trained for security in an environment involving crowds of people. Just like Federal buildings and airports...... EVEN BANKS, GROCERY STORES, AND WALMART ET AL., but he doesn't want the same for his kids and grandkids.

The ban on guns on military bases has been in place for years, well before Obama came into office.

It appears this “gun-free zone” type policy can actually be traced back to Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5210.56, signed into effect in February 1992 by Donald J. Atwood, deputy secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush.

There is no such thing as a "gun free zone" in this country.

There are just places where it is "illegal" to have firearms, ....

That's the point.
