How much safety is too much?

In the wake of another attempted terrorist attack on an airplane, airports have further beefed up their security, but at what point do safety measures become an infringement of human rights?
These people on the streets are absolutely ignorant. Benjamin Franklin, one of their founders said, "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." This holds true. Not only if the TSA did their job and just check the passport or even had security check point in place this would never of happened. Now they will be radiating passengers and viewing people completely naked. This is gone too far since the catalyst for this event, the underwear bomber could of been easily stopped. These people deserve Tyranny they will soon have. And I shall not spend any of my money on tourism in their nations. I have more dignity than to be treated worse than cattle.
It's a shame that people have fallen for the sheep herd mentality, "I don't mind as long as I am safe". This is how we lose our liberties and freedoms. If those who think being naked in front of a stranger is ok, it gives me little hope for the future of our human rights and our self respect. I know that their are genuine attempts to blow up planes and that the recent Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab incident was not one. There is enough cause for concern with this incident for me to call it a false flag operation. You have to question why he was even allowed onto the plane without a passport for starters. All in all I think the solution to stopping "terrorists" is to be pro active and to use intelligence information to prevent such people from even entering an airport, and for the naked body scanners to be thrown away, pat downs and hand scanners will be the level of privacy invasion that I would find acceptable.
After watching this short interview, I want to add three interesting observations. First, the United States has been turned to a police state and the transformation is thoroughly normalised. Second, the Zionist state of Israel is the guiding model for the United States when it comes to how to fight terrorism busing terrorism. Types of physical torture, surveillance and interrogations tactics and racist undertone of the war on terror which have been used in the United States since 9/11 borrow heavy from the Zionist state of Israel. Third, is there is tacit understanding in the United States that only Muslims and members of non white minority groups are going to be targeted by for added security search and racial profiling. Yet in Russia, despite repeat attacks of Muslim militant groups, I have never once read in this site, or other Russian English language online sites a call for Muslim ethnic profiling or the need for Muslims to take responsibility of these religious fanatics-only the need to fight against terrorism-which correct and just. On the other hand, in Europe and North America, Muslim leaders must repeatedly "denounce" terrorists attacks against western targets but the same leaders cannot contest killing of Muslim women and children by American spy drons cruise missiles nor can they advice western leaders to see how these two terrorists acts might be linked! sadly, as the U.S military spreads terror and mayhem into every corners of the earth, the United States is turning into fearful society that is neither free nor democratic.
And after that is implemented, and another person comes up with another idea, what is next? The full MRI of body? And blood-tests for any chemical substances embedded into body cavities? And then? I do not know what kind of explosive is involved in this case, but isn't it well known that explosives can be sniffed and detected by dogs? Once at the luggage checkout at customs, a security lady was walking around with a cute dog, who was sniffing everyone and every piece of luggage. Not only that it is cheaper, it provides a great way to save many dogs from unfortunate fate at the hands of unkind humans. We do not need them for hunt any more, but perhaps dog can again become man's best friend, by protecting us from harmful substances and people who are literally challenged by our stupid foreign policy to try. Bring them on --- our leaders exclaim!
There is just so much that does not add up. For starters, why is it that checked-in luggage is never even mentioned as a threat, even though huge suitcases can be seen at every check-in counter. Some folks look like they are moving apartment. Yet, all those are checked, and I did not hear anybody raising issues about potential dangers from having to process so much luggage in a short amount of time. In order for anything to detonate, there must be a mechanism for doing so. How this would be bomber proposed to start the explosion? Is it possible to have a detonator without any kind of wire? Perhaps this is why there is never any excitement when any kind of liquid is being put into suitcase. Bottles of drinks, cosmetics, lotions, jars of all sorts of home-made goodies from all over the world --- routinely are put into the luggage. So, what gives? And why on earth are people allowed to bring in more then one carrion? We see it all the time. Carrion, computer, large "purse", within which is the "real" purse, bags of all sorts and sizes. I do not know exactly what kind of explosive was found, it sounds strange that the detonation mechanism was not detected. How was the explosive to be detonated? Nothing makes sense about this person, especially how on earth did he pass through Amsterdam security, and what is the story of him suddenly showing up as a person without passport, and in a company of an "official"? Leaving the muddled story aside --- if one can be given the decibel level of those screaming for scanners --- why is it that it is so hard to detect explosive materials and the detonating devices? To start with, dogs are really very good at sniffing out anything, and they can be trained to detect an infinite number of explosive materials or drugs. It would be much more human to have the man's oldest friend do this vital role. And this can also be so much cheaper and effective.
Hatred without limit The West and Russia shares the same problem here, we are all stumbling around in the fog of political correctness both lacking intellectual honesty to admit that radical Islam has every intention to conquering western civilisation. There are 57 Islamic nations some 1.3 billion people; there are 22 Arab nations some 300 million people. The Islamic religion is a rapidly growing religion that is often controlled by militants that want to impose their believes on the rest of the world. Why we do not see the Islamic nations engaging the world with brute military force is because they lack this, every true Muslim is to fight infidels and their only way to reach paradise is if they kill an infidel. All nations that get a majority population of Muslims is to be ruled by Islam, this is something several nations across Europe will be truly aware about within the next 25 years. All true believers is to either fight Infidels with the sword or if they do not fight with sword they got to pay those that fight a form of religious tax and this happens all over Europe today, the world got to stop stumbling around in the fog of political correctness and gain intellectual honesty to survive as cultures and civilisations and they got to wake up now as no real security measures up to this date will function as long as we lack the intellectual honesty to deal with the real threat that comes from within.
