Fins has made some excellent points here. I fully agree with them.

Same here, Fins, you hit the nail on the head.

I did try to go to a meeting of "Paranoids Anonymous" once, but they wouldn't tell me where it was!

LOL. Try "Paranoids Unanimously", worked for me.

... the two guys sitting in an office in Houston discussing this, one is a high-speed low-drag type from the Navy, and the other is a police officer, and both have political views that make Attila the Hun look like a Pinko!

Now I really know what I missed at DEMA.
Didn't know the Navy allowed drag, low or otherwise.

Kjell, Have they chipped you out of the ice of the glacier yet?

No need, Kjell is self-sufficient.
That big tank he carries in the sling is the power supply for his
pneumatic chisel. Swedish bailout. : D

Darn! Not the dog-sleds AGAIN! They know all our high-tech whiz-bang stuff can't detect such low-tech vehicles!!!

AIEEE!! WE'RE DOOMED!

Calm down, son! That was not a reference to Drag-Queens or Toy Boys! As for Kjell, I thought they were only allowed to carry flint knives.

Phhhhh ! Oh good, what a relieve.
For a second there you had me more worried than the Canadians.

Little bolt-on wheels. And the huskies are shaved to keep cool and to disguise them as poodles. We plan ahead.

And the huskies are shaved ... to disguise them as poodles.

LORFL, that's nasty.
You'll certainly take San Francisco. I'm not so sure how far past the TX stateline you'll get on poodle driven sleds ... .

Ah, geez, guys, you owe me a new keyboard! (Coffee on the old one). Paranoids Anonymous and low-tech dog sleds. Whooah! :laughing: :burgereat :rofl2: :rofl2:

Yes, on a serious note, when faced with terrorism one has to show vigilance.

I've lived in London during IRA bomb scares (had to leave a department store when I was a child which probably scared my mum more than me) and in Paris during the Action Directe attacks (in fact I walked down the Avenue de la Grande Armée back to my flat one night after meeting friends half-an-hour before these terrorists blew up a car showroom which I had passed right by ... true story and it certainly makes a compelling case to me for the existance of guardian angels).

Still, one goes on with one's everyday life, because changing it too much means that the bastards win. Legitimate grievances are solved by peaceful means, only terrorists use violence in or against a true democracy. Sadly, now it is the United States which has been targeted by deluded people (who are a minority in their own countries by the way).

So be vigilant by all means, but please don't advocate restrictions on law-abiding rebreather divers.
