You may not like it, but 100% of the guys who blew up the Murrah Federal
Building in Oklahoma City were White and Christian. So how come we
aren't insisting on checking the backgrounds of every white Christian
that tries to rent a U-Haul or buy fertilizer?
Sounds good to me. I don't see why that isn't a good idea, too.
As a small-plane pilot, I want to know (he says sarcastically) why
there was such a big deal about little-bitty planes for a month
after 9/11, but there *wasn't* a big deal about renting trucks after
either the WTC truck bomb or OKC. I mean I was *not* allowed to
hop in a plane and exercise my authority to fly an airplane for *weeks*,
but right after either truck bomb, any yahoo with a driver's license
could still rent a truck. Not even restricted for one day.
If all pilots are suspect, why aren't all truck renters?
