Comment on Stranded Jet Skier Breaches Multimillion Dollar Security System At JFK Airportparent

Comments

At these airports we've lost the human caring, the human service-related element that makes America great. - I think that there's no demonstrable security value for the majority of these projects, and since 2001 we've allowed the defense industry to ingrain top-heavy industrialized defense projects into our daily American life - militarizing America. Along the way we've lost some of our true values and this doesn't make us a better, safer country. Where's the article about saving a stranded man and helping reunite him with his family?

The possibility that they would have locked down a major airport, stranding thousands of travelers and generating millions of dollars in lost revenues would have been a true farce. How many armed guards could you hire, trained to HELP as well as protect, for the cost of a $100 Million lemon defense system? At least we would be helping solve the unemployment problem, rather than pumping countless millions into the coffers of international defense companies like Raytheon.

Then they'd have a legitimate reason to fine him millions of dollars for being lost and stranded.
