Its going to make people pissed off at them. For not protecting them. So who ever's in there is going to have to make it look good. Democrat or Republican. They're going to have to make sure that it looks like steps are being made to protect US citizens. They do it to protect their political party which I by the way did not vote in this time round but they also as a side line do it to protect the country. It is their watch. And they know it. And they have to make it at least look like they are not going to get caught with their pants down. I don't get mad at Bush or the powers that be at the airports. I get mad at Muslim extremist terrorists. THOSE are the bad guys not the people in the white house idiots they may be they are making an effort. If I thought the USA and the people in the white house were the bad guys I would go to some nice friendly place like Saudi Arabia. Although with my last name that might be tricky.
