Just a reminder that the 9/11 attackers did it with knives.

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (10 children)

Kinda wild, I vividly remember getting on a plane to Disney with my grandparents as a child (Pre 9/11). My grandpa had a swiss army knife on him when we went through security. I asked him how he was able to get that through, and he said it's a small knife; nothing to worry about. It's legal as long as it's smaller than my palm. I said what if someone brought a knife like that and stabbed the pilot. He laughed it off and said I watch too much TV. Then 9/11 happened and guess how they did it? How did 8 year old me have more sense than whoever was running airports in those days?

These fuckers are so inept at propaganda, it's kinda sad.

Dont underestimate the stupidity of their target audience, and the arrogant complacency of his opposition. Its why we have him in the first place. Twice. Half of the second group is still probably going to sit out the primaries and midterms.

Fun fact: the smallest nuclear bomb was (is?) small enough to carry in a backpack.

Nuclear terrorism might be a thing, but I seriously doubt that the easiest way to do it is nuclear suicide vests. Miniaturizing nuclear warheads is a pain. If you were going to do something like that, you'd be better off doing something akin to a truck bomb.

Id argue a rapist president plus a complicit govt is more dangerous. How about getting rid of those first?
