Also, there is just too much freight to screen. Perhaps if the terrorists changed tactics, started blowing up planes full of our film, then maybe we'd cave in and change religion. But hang on, the Taliban even banned images didn't they? I change my mind - the terrorists better keep blowing up passenger aircraft. Not wanting to encourage a political thread here, but I do wonder how long it will be before 'we' can look back and say "How dumb was all that!" On 05/01/2005, at 10:03 PM, Douglas M.
