10/13   Does the president get "patted down" or have to walk through a
        metal detector anywhere he goes here in America?
        \_ That's no sock in the President's flight suit!
        \_ "What do you think?" because that's a really dumb question.  What,
           he's going to carry a bomb on an airplane and blow himself up?  They
           need to protect Dick Cheney from him?  Can you think of a single
           scenario in which he would need to be patted down?
           \_ Actually, Bush needs to be protected from Cheney, as do we all:
              http://www.theonion.com/news/index.php?issue=4041
           \_ This argument is just plain stupid. By this reasoning, then
              we shouldn't pat anyone down at the airport.
              \_ Are you really this fuck-stupid?
                \_ He's not, but you are apparently.
                   \_ Please.  He's extrapolating a conclusion based on the
                      absurdly false premise that the office of the president
                      is somehow logically equivalent to everyone else.  This
                      is categorically untrue, and your inability to see this
                      only confirms my first opinion: that you're fuck-stupid.
                   \_ actually you are.
                      \_ no... YOU are
                         \_ wdyha?
                            \_ wdYha???
                                \_ ED!
                                   \_ BUD DAY!
           \_ You're dumb.
              \_ Am I?  OK, give me one good reason to pat down the president.
                 \_ If it's because you/others believe he's more moral than us
                    or because he more than anyone should know not to break a
                    law, that's nonsense because neither he (nor any other
                    person) is. if it's because he's constantly surrounded by
                    secret service officers, then fine, that makes more sense.
                 \_ Dude.  Seriously.  1) he's a republican.  2) he's texan.
                 \_ He loses the election and wants to take congress with him,
                    are you really this stupid?
                    \_ Now _that's_ a Ludlum premise if I've ever heard one:
                       "Silence gripped the Senate as the ousted President
                        lifted the ticking device above his head. 'My God!'
                        someone suddenly cried, 'the President has a bomb!'"
        \_ Why doesn't everyone stop name-calling and just attach explanations
           with their responses. Are we in 3rd-grade still?
           \_ dood UR teh gay
        \_ Excellent question to ask. If he gets
           special treatments, then maybe a terrorist could hire a Bush
           double, have him board airforce one, then have him hijack
           the plane to crash into the Bush mansion.
           \_ How do we know he hasn't already been replaced by a double?
                \_ Because a double would have a noticeable bulge on his
                   back where the battery pack goes.

1/4     Why the fascination with blowing up airplanes? Airports have tight
        security. It doesn't seem worth it. It's far easier to derail a
        train or set off explosives in a crowded place like a theater or
        sporting event. As many or more people will be killed and it will
        still make the news. I don't get why all of our security, and
        apprently much of the terrorist's resources, is focused on airplanes.

Advertisement GREENSBORO, NCIn an announcement that has alarmed voters across the nati on, Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he will personally attac k the US if Sen. Above: Cheney issues a warning to Greensboro, NC voters. "If the wrong man is elected in November, the nation will come under a de vastating armed attack of an unimaginable magnitude, one planned and exe cuted by none other than myself," Cheney said, speaking at a rally in Gr eensboro, NC. "When they go to the polls, Americans must weigh this fact and decide if our nation can ignore such a grave threat." Added Cheney: "It would be a tragedy to suffer another attack on American soil, let alone one perpetrated by an enemy as well-organized and well- equipped as I am. My colleagues and I urge voters to keep their safety i n mind when they go to the polls." "There is no question that Cheney has the financial assets and intelligen ce needed to pose a threat to our nation," said Peter Bergen, terrorism researcher and author of Threats And Balances: Former Executive Branch O fficials And The Danger To America. "After all, this fanatic can call up on the resources of both the Republican Party and Halliburton to aid him in his assault. America would be foolish not to take his warning seriou sly." After his speech, Cheney was asked to confirm his remarks. "Make no mistake: If Kerry becomes president, no one will be safe from me ," Cheney told reporters. "Businesses, places of worship, schools, publi c parks: No place will offer you refuge. A vote for Kerry is a vote to d ie in your own bed at the hands of Dick Cheney." Stepping up to the podium after Cheney, Secretary of Homeland Security To m Ridge vowed to increase surveillance of the vice president. "Wherever Cheney iswhether in his office in the White House or stumping in battleground stateswe will be watching him," Ridge said. "I will not rule out raising the terror-alert level, should Kerry begin to draw ahe ad in the polls. Every percentage point conceded to Kerry brings the nat ion under greater threat of attack by Cheney."
