We need TSA to set up screening booths at the entrances to all our bases.
Why do you hate our troops?
I don't hate them.
Replacing current security (MPs?) with a bunch of TSA bureaucrats? That's some hate, baby.

But, now they're all terrorist suspects, just like me every time I enter an airport. A rogue USA soldier attacked our country yesterday.
Which could have been part of the intention. In my view it was just another battle in the GWoT, only fought on home turf. In a way similar to the flying Imams, who I think were trying to lax the security on obvious targets. Glad a female officer took him down, especially after he killed a pregnant woman.
I view him more like Hannibal Lecter. They both terrify me. He'll be hard to probe to get to the truth, unless he wants to come clean. He's been trained on the techniques used to probe a brain.
That's actually a terrifying combination--a Hannibal Lector in a Jihadi suit. As for me, until further info comes in I consider this a closet Muslim fundamentalist deciding to do his duty. Was he whacked? Yep, enough to do his duty just the same as Mohammed Atta and the others who flew planes into buildings. But apparently not enough to attract significant attention from his superiors unless they were afraid of the ramifications.

I don't think any of the flying Imams were USA born and raised citizens, were they? So why am I treated as though I could be just like one of them?
Good question. We are presumed terrorists walking in the front door of the airport, until we prove we are not.
