Alternative to TSA

Ethiopian Airlines has never had, as far as I know, only one successful terrorist attack. 

Why?

Simple-- When you board an EA plane, in the very back of the plane you will see two handsome business men, well dressed, polite, and alert. They sit in two seats the airline keeps for them. Every plane has two of these men on board.

When the wife of a missionary of the Sudan Interior Mission boarded a flight from Addis Ababa to Asmara long ago, she saw the two "business men" in the back of the plane and was pleased, for she knew exactly what they were. 

The flight had only been in the air for a few minutes when when a man and woman stood. The woman had a hand grenade in her hand, and she started to declare something. She got out about three words, and the missionary lady heard the men in the the back of the plane yell, "heads down," and two shots were at once fired. 

The man and woman dropped dead to the floor. The woman fell on the grenade which went off, and her body deflected the blast out the bottom of the plane.

The pilot, who must have be primed for such events, immediately banked sharply in a U-turn and set the plane down on the runway with no hesitation. It was all over in minutes, and the passengers were politely taken off the plane with apologies for the inconvenience.

El Al has the same plan. It would cost a fraction of the cost of this TSA monkeyshines if every flight on every airline required two seats in the back for highly trained professional killers. But, then, that would require more than a single week on how to grope strangers. 

A flight marshal is beyond and above any other sniper-- he is also a public relations man, must dress to the nines, and never show up distracted. He must have a total commitment to kill instinctively with no trigger but total mental concentration. And, in all of that, he must look, to the passengers, like just another traveler.

Our government is too lazy to go to the trouble. That is simply all there is to say about it. From Obama down, every problem must be solved by high technology and dummies grabbing genitals.

One is reminded of the days of Bill Clinton. It seems to me like Democrats have been grabbing America by the privates for many years. 

Oh, for the decency of Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter.
