Terrorism update3

January 9,2010

                     It seems that every day we are learning more about the terrorism suspect that tried to bring down Flight 253 over Detroit Michigan.  Athough today we do not have new information on this Guy . This Mornings Fox News Sunday it came out that the Detroit attempted bomber did do some talking for about 30 hours to the officials. We apparrently got quite a bit of information from him before he Lawyered up.   One more thing thats come out today is that we sent 6 people back to Yeman. Just 6 Days before the Atempted Attack on flight 253 in Detroit Michigan. With serious plans to send more to Yeman in the next few Months.  

                  We have some information about Airport security, there were several problems at various Airports around the country. But I feel some of those are to where down the American people to want the Body scanners. thats my personal opinion, The media is all up in arms becuase the American people dont think we need the Body scanners. Becuase of the fact the people feel the scanners are too invasive. Right now the television media is going crazy with it, when actualy they would have never stopped any of these terrorist’s getting on planes. What it will do though is discourage people like me, that do not fly now from ever flying in the future. And of course the favorite comment that I have heard to the point that makes me sick to my stomach is well if you dont hve anything to hide, why not go through this so called extra measure of security.  when they use that comment its got nothing to do with you doing something wrong, its more about making you feel guilty.  Then you start to question your self, I say dont ever let someone Guilt you like that into anything. Once you start letting people do that to you lose something of your self.  Its called self respect, and your resolve to stand up for what you believe in.  News

just in the Power is out in Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and they have canceled several flights. According to Airport Spokeswoman Ms Jackie Mayo said, the power went out at 6:50 this Morning January 10,2010 and. They think they can restore the power by about 6pm this evening. The electric crews are looking for the problem and trying to repair it she said.  She went on to say the cause of the outage is unknown at this time. And crews from Akron based  First Engergy Corp were working to get it fixed.   She also stated that critical areas such as the Airfields and the Aiport Tower. Have power and that back up generator are providing limited power to light in the terminal. A side note: On January 4,2010 there were power issues at the Reagan National Airport in DC. That grounded flights for about 1 hour. Just in as I write this blog the Airport I just spoke about, all flights for the rest of the day will be canceled due to the power outage.

                  Airport Security Mearsures are drawing Accusations of Profiling. The Obama Administrations decision to rev up Airport security for passengers traveling to 14 Nations, with ties to terrorism. has now triggered a backlash of complaints, from several Muslim and privacy groups. Whom say the Presidents response to terror threats amounts to little more then racial profiling. Since this blog is meant for the reader to get information. And an opinion piece you will hear what I think. I first commend the President this week for coming out and saying the buck stops with him, I was also glad to hear him say that We are at war with Al Quaida.  But I disagree with how he is waging this war. We are fighting on many fronts and 2 major wars and. We Ava Indiana and I spend Every Sunday having to Honor More of our Our young Men and Women. That have died in those two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. And as of last week we started adding Men and Women from Canada and the UK.  May I be so bold as to ask You Mr President its come to our attention that our young people. Are not recieving the nessasary Tools and equipment they need. Nore the personell they need to really fight these wars. Either give them what they need to really fight and win these wars.  Or  we request No We Demand that you bring our young people home. We Ava and I love those young people.  And are Sooo tired of having to Mention and Honor those Whom died. On our weekly radio show, it breaks our hearts and our listeners Hearts each time. There I have said it.  

Although The President says he will ramp up security in passengers coming to America, from other countries.  But the reality is that the president cannot do much about the security of other countries. Without violating the soverigernity of other countries.  I end this blog for now and pick up where I ended Tomorrow have a great evening and a great week ahead,Love,Barb Brainerd
