While announcing new security guidelines to make mandatory the fingerprinting of any travelers leaving the US, deputy secretary of the US department of homeland security Michael Jackson has stated that another attack on the scale of September 11 2001 is "inevitable".

I can see that this war that took thousands of our men and women isn't seeming to be doing a damn thing.

Heck, leaving the country on a trip anymore is a pain in the rear end and getting back in is just as worse.

Here's a simple solution. CLOSE the damn border! Send all illegals home. Close the American Mosque that preaches hate! Send more people to Gitmo! Keep Gitmo open!
Sounds like the Homeland Secuity is trying to scare us so they can take away our freedom loving people. Maybe it's time for the people to rise up and protect ourselves?
As for profiling. If I see an Arab. My eye is on you!

more "attacks inevitable"
Yeah, since Homeland Security is planning them, under Rove's orders.
Reichstad.
The FBI finally admitted to setting some of those college fires in the 60's that they blamed on hippie radicals. Now Bush controls the FBI...
Look out for Neocon terrorists like McVeigh. They (and ALL Neocons) hate their fellow Americans and love inflicting (spiritual, intellectual, physical) violence on the rest of us.

Why don't we just call a spade a spade? It isn't the War on Terrorism.
It's a War on Liberty. It's a War on People We Find Suspicious--and everyone is a suspect. Else why do we strip search grandmothers at airports? Why do we have trouble figuring out that a US senator is not a terrorist and should not be on a no-fly list?
Why do these extreme security measures not exist in nations all over Europe? Don't they have more of a problem with suspicious Islamicist immigrants than we do? Haven't they already had acts of terrorism that rival 9/11? (Subway bombings)
Disband the DHS. All they do is suck up tax money while providing little or nothing in the way of added security.

"This once again highlights that the terrorist threat to America is vastly over hyped and is being used by a government populated by control freaks as an excuse to police the world and foment a domestic police state to crush any dissent amongst the American people."
How and when has a "domestic police state" been formed and where has dissent among the American people been crushed?
I really hope the article is wrong on other attacks. We have no way of knowing how many attacks have been averted but one thing we do know: The terrorist can fail 99% of their attempts, but if they succeed once, they are pleased. DHS can be successful in preventing 99% of planned attempts, but if they fail once, those who now cry that security for travelers is too restrictive will cry that the government did too little to protect. (Note the recent TB scare as an example.)

Why are Americans being fingerprinted? It seems like a war on Americans. Why do Americans need passports to go to Mexico, but illegals cross everyday without a shred of documentation. It's not a war on terror. It's a war on the people who live here. We sent all those soldiers out to kill imaginary terrorists in Iraq, and now they come back with legs and arms blown off. For what?
Sure they know there will be an attack, because they performed the last one. Only this time Bush has managed to anger the entire world by acting like a lone donkey, he has put the American people in more jeopardy, real jeopardy this time.

I'll forgive the Bush administration for playing big brother with illegal wiretaps if myself or any of my family or friends do not get targeted for anything in the next 5 years. Only then will I say the targeting is limited to terror suspects and was worthwhile.

Of course there will be more attacks. We have sent our troops to a country that never attacked us and did not threaten us. In doing so we pulled them from the country where those who did attack us are headquartered and allowed those leaders to continue surviving.
Instead of protecting this country our government has gone and setup a recruiting campaign for our enemies by our ill conceived invasion and drawn out 'war'.
These folks talk a good game but going on 7 years after 09/11 our borders are still open like a sieve, our ports do not properly inspect incoming containers. Instead we got to take our shoes off before flying in an airplane.
Lets get these bums out and bring in someone who will do something. Much better to make a mistake in trying to secure the borders than to continue to fall for the ongoing bluster and no activity from our current government elected officials.

Fear, fear and more fear is how this administration keeps the masses in line while coveting the world for its rich.
The shame of it all, most Americans are hooked by this agenda like a fish in the rain. All totalitarians and despots use this tactic on the masses to keep them in line.

As long as there are rogue elements in our government; more 911's will happen either because they make it or let it in order to feed the beast.

Hey! Wait one minute!
"We've got to fight them there or they will follow us home!"
That's what the Republicans have been telling us all along isn't it? And now we hear from them that another 9-11 is inevitable! So what exactly is the point of this war that they love so much? If, when all is said and done, we are going to be hit again anyway? They are in essence telling us that this war is pointless!
Something that a number of us already knew.

It chills me to the bone to read a report from Homeland Insecurity like that and then to read all of the comments from people who agree with them, or at least give tacit approval of such a report, without even considering the ramifications of giving up another small piece of our liberties. That's exactly how it is done; a little at a time. We all learn to accept one more restriction "if it helps to secure our freedom." The "Homeland" was also a favorite word of the fascists in the 20s, 30s, and 40s of the last century because it showed what stood to be lost if those Jews, Gypsies, Homos, Poles, French and any others who might be handy got too uppity and became more prosperous than the people who believed the "homeland" was exclusively theirs.

And all of this rummaging about illegals and closing the borders and keeping them safe from the illegals brings up the question of who will be doing all of the slave labor if these hard workers can't get in. Who asks the employers why they hire them? It isn't because they feel sorry for them, but that they want to exploit their cheap labor. They cannot compete with China otherwise.

9/11 was a tragedy. But, letting the fear of that day take control of us is a greater tragedy. When we give up our freedoms, and let the government run roughshod over us and the rest of the world, we have done more damage than the terrorists ever could.

i believe in conspiracy theories. 9/11 was a republican plot to gain support for the so-called "war on terror". there have never been any threats to national security. it was all a sick plot to extort oil from the middle east. Now that bush is being called on his lies, suddenly there are more 9/11s planned. why would terrorists wait 6 years if it were really them? they aren't afraid of the u.s. think people!! it's all lies!!!impeach bush, he's a nazi!!!!!!!

During the Clinton administration, when Jackson was out of the Government, he ran a division of Lockheed Martin Corp. that worked on transportation issues.
Think he might be "scaring" up some new buisness for new Airport Technologies? He will be looking for a new private sector job in a bit over a year, I think.
