Serious Breach of Security
The television is overflowing with dopey analysis of the two attention seekers who crashed the state dinner the other night. Much has been made of the fact that they had been through metal detectors like everyone else and therefore the President was in no danger.
Are we sure about that? Everything is impossible right up until the time that it’s not. Anyone remember Fort Hood? What if one of these two actually was a terrorist with a desire for martyrdom? Is it inconceivable that they could have killed the President without a gun?
No, it’s not. Anyone trained in hand to hand combat knows how to kill with their bare hands. Including women in fancy dresses. The jihadist mentality has nothing to do with reason, so it can’t be unreasonable to consider any possibility a possibility. Remember that jihadists consider it a duty to kill those who disagree with them and in fact would consider it an honor and privilege to kill the head of the great Satan. Whether or not they themselves would be arrested or killed is not a deterrent but an incentive, a path to immortality and an honor for their family.
The fact is that if one of these people had been trained and really wanted to kill our President they were close enough to do it when they met him in the receiving line.
Think it’s really not possible?
