Just a Mom,

I agree with you 100 percent. Its a amazing how our media and government have handled this over the years. I find it even more suprising how at first they(Government and Media) were very suspect at getting the federal government more involved in our nations airports because of security. The main reason I got was because of the $$$$ and that it was unneccessary. At least from the higher ups in the airline community and from Capitol Hill. But C'mon how can you put a price on human life and especially after these tragedies. I'm so glad that they are FINALLY putting out national guardsman at the airports and government seems to be making a good effort at improving our airport security. Anyways, back to the bio chem stuff. AOIIAngel, I agree, definitely is scary to think. Allison, I dont agree with you on the crop dusters though. I think right now we need to get to the bottom of everything first. How many lives will it take before the government will put in some safe guards at will actually work in a time of crisis. How would you know when to put on a gas mask anyway. Not that I think about it every day. but how would you know. ZTAngel, you have a good point. I've heard the same thing. I agree there are a lot of people in control of the workings of our national security but the question is are they making the right decisions. I just assume like when you go to the Doctor that they are. I think if the media is going to put all that stuff out there they should make some kind of effort at empowering the public/keeping the government(an effective plan of action) accountable with this deadly thought.
