Someone in the middle of a panic attack will be calmed down by seeing someone approach them with a drawn weapon?

Pass me an owl picture.

lol trust me I'm not a fan.. but if anyone is going to go over the top on US national security, they will!

Fox are kind of like a comedy news channel. Sky News give you the odd chuckle, but it's a laugh a minute with Fox. The US Election on Fox was a sight to behold.

And if it didnt work then anything could happen, including a plane crash.

If its OK by you, i'd rather have one person being a 'grade A tool' than hundreds of dead bodies.

 

[Over Clocker]

Wonder what they are searching for.

The way the are throwing the suitcases around i'll assume it's not a bomb lol
