As a fact, I am anxious to see evidence that backs it up. |

For the last week? Yes.
Even still, aside from the terrorists that have been arrested over the last week, there have been no events to articulate any change in how safe we are compared to a year ago.
I was no more nervous flying home from California on Thursday with the substantially increased airport security (due to the elevated number of FBI advisories) than I was last year. |

Just went through SFO in California on Thursday. Multiple checkpoints and random searches of people waiting at their gate - at least 1/3 people were having their bags checked after going through the scanners and seemed like at least 50% of people were being patted down. Security was pretty tight. |

Dulles has everyone domestic and international go through the same security checkpoints, so many many languages being spoken.
Also alot of the people working TSA there are immigrants, women with face shrouds, men with turbans. I feel really weird going through security there. |

It's been a while since I've been through. If I'm going to DC, the Acella trains are for me. When I have connections, Dulles is a last resort. That airport is a mess. |

Doing Reagan from now on. It's just about equi-distant from there or dulles to my clients and office and the USAIR shuttle makes it much easier. Although in and out of any DC area airport is painful even BWI or Richmond. |

So The Commander in Chief, during a war, has only talked to his Field Commander
once over 70 days ago! That is absurd. We are supposed to have confidence in
our leader when he doesn't even communicate with his field commander during a war?????
They say the responsibility is with Gates as that is the chain of command while
Obama is on campaign tours campaigning for his EMERGENCY HC Bill, going on Talk Shows
and traveling to Europe to get the Olympics in Chicago.
We are on the precipice of maybe losing a war and entering another and he
is out of touch, even putting off a decision to send more troops for at least another few weeks.
Where and what are his priorities????
