Forget Cheese Bombs and Backpacks, Terrorists May Try Wheelchairs
August 21, 2007
Forget dry runs with fake cheese bombs, for which the TSA released an advisory on back in July 2007. Terrorists are more likely to exploit a recently revealed lapse in our nation’s awareness of elderly black men in wheelchairs sitting in the same place at an airport for three days. Or could it be a handicapped person trying to cross a inaccessible section of an airport…for three days.
The incident last week where an elderly minister was left on the curb for three days has been described in as many ways as possible as a sad day. A better explanation of this sadness exists at SmashedFrog.
A true core has been revealed about Americans as a citizenry. We ignore what appear to be inconveniences, like the homeless, the elderly, the handicapped. The list could go on. And while the terrorism alert level didn’t change based on this incident, I’m thinking my own alert level is going up - to be more alert to helping others.
