havent you seen where they had to feel up a girl because it was in their criteria? some thing like a after a certain number pass they have to do a complete search. Even a child in a wheel chair they had to detain to search...even granny. What gives?

I take it you're referring to the TSA?

I guess it's because anyone could be a terrorist, or a mule. Even kids and old people. We have had a few non-Arab bad guys pop up and any war veteran can tell you that some of our enemies will not hesitate to use children as human missles. My own brother told us in a very chilling way that he himself had shot children in Vietnam. He had no choice, he had seen boobytrapped kids explode, it became a matter of survival. (Where's Big Bill? He might be able to shed some light here.)

Honestly, I don't know. But, I still don't believe it's part of any plan by Barrack Obama to seize control. If he loses in November, he will walk away and fade into history like all the rest of them.......Well, 'cept for Jimmy. That old geezer just doesn't know when to quit meddling. If anyone has tried to be "president for life", it would be Jimmy.

we will never know what the heck is going on. That is why there is this awesome thread on a...i mean politicalchat! I like it. Count the days till im right... And when the time comes we can band together in the high arctic, near greenland. By then we can use our magnetic honing skills learnd from the gov. bombarding us....

Making sure alll their agents have enough ammo not to get roughed up as they are "searching?"

That would probably depend on the ballistic coefficient, and the velocity at which the projectile is launched. A .40 BTS fitted to a case which maximized it's potential would definitely be considered a long range cartridge.

The military currently uses both the .338 Lapua and the .50 BMG cartridges for their sniper weapons. A .40 would fall somewhere in between.

The .40 S&W handgun cartridge is very popular with law enforcement agencies, although I doubt that it is any more effective than a .357 Mag or the .45 ACP. Not so sure that it offers much of an advantage over the .38 Super, which has been around forever.

IMHO, simply another solution looking for a problem.

Kind of like hiring more stupid cops for cheap, instead of hiring smarter cops and paying them what they deserve.

Best I can tell, we ain't hurting for cops. We're asshole deep in 'em.

the 40 cal will stop a bear of a man. just, it wont kill a bear. a 45 will.and neither are considered armor piercing. or am i ill informed. Im referring to hollow point bullets as that is what the govmint is buying.

What in hell are they putting in the drinking water? Has everyone gone nuts?

[BlueStreak]

It's not the water, it's the media and internet.

And, yes, everyone has gone nuts.
