YANKEES PITCHER PROVES WE'RE STILL NOT SAFE
NEW YORK CITY. After six years from 9-11. The date that put America on High Alert, turned us all into bigots against Arabs, Muslims, 7-11's, Quickie-Mart employees, and anyone carrying a box cutter. The date that supposedly stepped up our national security. Where grandmothers with emphysema get stripped searched at airports, women carrying breast milk or water bras get fondled. A New York Yankees' picture, sadly at the cost of his life, can take a small private jet, fly it into Manhattan, and crash it into a New York high rise apartment building killing 2 people inside, and the 8 people on board.
Was there any warning from the FAA monitoring the flight? Was there a super high-speed jetfighter there to intercept it? Was the military sweating bullets over a monitor waiting for a go ahead from Gee Dubya?
Perhaps there was, all that, the details are still sketchy and will maybe released at a later date. In the meantime, let's look at how safe this makes the average American feel. Let's look at how this makes the average New York City citizen feel....
