Just my $.02
Ok I just posted a comment in someone's journal and realized I should be putting some of it in my own journal.
I don't know if anyone was able to see when Jane Swift was on last nite. It was one of the worst things she could have done to her career. The same day that all this tragedy occured she wanted us to go on business as usual to show we weren't going to let this bring us down. She said that we should go out and vote. VOTE! She was more concerned with those stupid elections then with what was really happening!! She didn't feel it affected us all that much apparently. HELLO!?!? Did I miss something? The two flights that hit the towers were out of Boston!! That doesn't affect us!?!?! WTF!! Those crazy bastards were in our city! OUR airport security let them through with the knives they hijacked those planes with! THAT is major! I personally will never feel safe to fly out of Logan..or anywhere really but especailly Logan. I think almost everytime I have ever been there they have searched my bags. Yet others are able to get through with weapons!
The FAA is supposed to be making stricter guidelines.. That's all good and fine.. for awhile secrity will be "tight." But as history has proved and as yesterday has proved eventually people slack. It is only a matter of time before these new guidelines aren't as strict. We are in theory supposed to check in one hour before a flight...how long did that really last? I know that I have checked alot less then an hour before a flight and have never had a problem. Little things like that will happen again guaranteed.. People will let their guard down.
And right now I still don't know when Robyn will be able to fly home. She is supposed to be back on Saturday. She is supposed to fly into Logan. Logan may be shut down longer then other airports.. I am just hoping that she will be able to get a flight soon and that she will also be able to have the courage to get on the plane.. I know that I would not be able to!
