Having travelled to and From the US internally and Internationally over the years, I can honestly state that I was apalled by the lack of security compared to European flights - before 9/11. I guess that because Europe has lived with terrorism for hundreds of years its way ahead of the US on that score, I wonder if the US will continue to reinvent the wheel on Terrorism as they have done so far..... I'm sure occupying Northern Ireland seemed like a good idea a hundred years ago too........ -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
