Next step for body scanners could be trains, boats, metro
Yellow comments from KBK, who submitted this post about when I did.
The next step in tightened security could be on U.S. public transportation, trains and boats. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says terrorists will continue to look for U.S. vulnerabilities, making tighter security standards necessary.
Unless we, you know, kill the terrorists ...
"[Terrorists] are going to continue to probe the system and try to find a way through," Napolitano said in an interview that aired Monday night on "Charlie Rose."

"I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime. So, what do we need to be doing to strengthen our protections there?"

Napolitano's comments, made a day before one of the nation's busiest travel days, come in the wake of a public outcry over newly implemented airport screening measures that have been criticized for being too invasive.
The secretary has defended the new screening methods, which include advanced imaging systems and pat-downs, as necessary to stopping terrorists. During the interview with Rose, Napolitano said her agency is now looking into ways to make other popular means of travel safer for passengers and commuters.
Why not just close all public transportation? That would make it safe ...
Napolitano's comments were in response to the question: "What will they [terrorists] be thinking in the future?" She gave no details about how soon the public could see changes in security or about what additional safety measures the DHS was entertaining.

Napolitano said she hoped the U.S. could get to a place in the future where Americans would not have to be as guarded against terrorist attacks as they are and that she was actively promoting research into the psychology of how a terrorist becomes radicalized.
You might just ask the Israelis; they seem to know a thing or two about this ...
"The long-term [question] is, how do we get out of this having to have an ever-increasing security apparatus because of terrorists and a terrorist attack?" she said. "I think having a better understanding of what causes someone to become a terrorist will be helpful."
If you don't know, you are way out of your depth. Let me spell it out: 99.9% are Muslims who have been indoctrinated by al Qaeda. 0.1% it's a guy named Timothy McVeigh, and he's dead. How about focusing on the 99.9% and lay off grandma, the kids, and stop groping American's "crotchural areas" with your filthy gloves?

I will say, that since you asked that initial question, that you may be waking up to the fact that there's a better way.
DHS and intelligence officials are not as far along in understanding that process as they would like, Napolitano said, adding that until that goal is reached, steps need to be put in place to ensure the public's safety.

"We don't know much," she said. "If you were to try and devise a template about what connects this terrorist to this terrorist and how they were raised and what schools they went to and their socioeconomic status, or this or that, it's all over the map.
No, it's not. The template is al Qaeda, the connection is Islamic jihad, and the map is primarily the Mid-East. Any honest person admits this. Only politically correct people such as yourself claim ignorance and confusion. The rest of us know you people for what you are, liars and fools, since we know all the information you claim you lack is readily available inside the US government.
"I think there's some important work that's being done on that but ... the Secretary of Homeland Security cannot wait for that."
