"Masterminds" Of Terror

My wife and I bought airline tickets to Colorado and she realized when she was checking prices that it was cheaper and quicker to fly from LAX (Los Angeles) to Denver via Delta and then fly back by way of South West. So we bought one way tickets each way because they were from differnet airlines.

By now everyone knows that if you buy a one way ticket you are asking for trouble at the airport. Sure enough, when we walked up to security they checked our ID's, circled our tickets in red and marked us suspicious. That led to being walked into a glass cage and separating us from our carry-ons. Next came the body search with hands up and down the legs, back, torsoe and arms. Our carry-ons were then taken to a seperate area and searched for explosives as we sat and waited.

Now, the two of us look nothing like terrorists. I am full of tattoos and as far as I know this is strictly forbidden in the Islamo/Muslim world. My wife is blond, British and looks like Jessica Rabbit.

Don't get me wrong. I'm very happy about the extra security that will keep us all safe from a possible second terror attack in the air. What I don't understand is, if these people are truly the "Masterminds" the Govenrment and the News Agencies keep labeling them as, why after 7 years have they not figured out that they have to buy a round trip plane ticket to avoid the extra scrutiny? I mean they are Masterminds aren't they? Do you think by now they understand that they have to take flying lessons and learn how to take off as well as land?

Do you think by now they would bother to try an air strike again knowing they can just walk across the our open border with a nuclear suitcase bomb? Did anyone find the 7 that went missing when the Soviet Union tore down that wall? Just a thought or two to stimulate what ever is left of those brain cells that lead infested Chinese products haven't mangaed to kill.
