If a terrorist group has the will and the money, it can get its hands on WMD's. It doesn't have to be a nuke, a chemical or biological weapon will be just as devastating, and almost impossible to trace.
However, that doesn't give the fbi the right to take our freedoms away. I think there is a principle at stake and we must hold on to our freedoms and democracy at these times, when we are most tested, or we wll lose them forever. |

Do you trust Apple or any other International tech company any more than the US government?

ALL governments LIE to the people, and only admit the lies when they have no other alternative, and it is TOTALLY illogical to contend that the very SAME government who have spent years DENYING losing nukes to cover their embarrassment, then FIND those lost nukes but FAIL to publicise that fact. No - those USA nukes were lost, and remain unaccounted for, as are the unknown number of nukes 'lost' by the Soviets during the collapse of their 'Empire'. As for; "It's a scenario that only happens in films", I will say only that 'Life is often stranger than fiction', as attested by the incident of the U.S.S. Scorpion in 1968 - a very mysteroious case which has never been satisfactorily explained and is worthy of a Hollywood Blockbuster film script. "While returning to home base in Norfolk, Virginia, the U.S.S. Scorpion, a nuclear attack submarine, mysteriously sank about 400 miles to the southwest of the Azores islands. In addition to the tragic loss of all 99 crewmembers, the Scorpion was carrying two unspecified nuclear weapons—either anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes that were tipped with nuclear warheads. These could yield up to 250 kilotons explosive power (depending which kind of weapon was used)"

"We haven't lost any nukes." "Honest, all of our nukes are accounted for." "Seriously! We have never even come close to losing a nuclear warhead" "We honestly know where every single one is at all times. " ... "Hey guys! We found a nuke! Remember we said we hadn't lost any? Well, actually we did but we've found it now so it's OK.... ... ... Other nukes? Oh no, it was just that one. We have never lost any other nukes, honest." Tl;dr: announcing the recovery of a nuke requires an admission that one was lost in the first place. It's entirely logical to assume that they would say nothing. |

For example; The US Navy DENIED for 15 years that an 'A-4E SKYHAWK attack plane carrying a 1 MEGATON THERMONUCLEAR BOMB had "rolled off the deck of the U.S.S. Ticonderoga and fell into the Pacific Ocean" ( You could not make this up) In 1980, though the US authorities did finally admit the loss of the Skyhawk and bomb, and also that NEITHER had ever been recovered, they still continued to LIE about the incident, in claiming that it had happened in 'deep sea' some 500 miles from land, when it actually occured only 80 miles off Japan's Ryuku island chain.

But let me add in the Queen's English, that only a fool persists in posting without checking their sources OR their grammar.

The fact that these supposed lost weapons would somehow find their way into IS hands without detection decades later is far more unrealistic. |

And pray enlighten us all as to just which 'Dead Language' this is? Are you referring to the Queen's English or Latin - BOTH of which may well be 'Dead' in your part of the world, but neither of which are 'dead' in the part of the world I live in, nor the circles which I move in.

Up until yesterday I thought it would be unrealistic to assume that a guy could get on a plane with a fake suicide belt made out of phone cases covered in cloth, in these times unrealistic scenarios can quickly become reality.

.So, not unrealistic that it COULD happen. Utterly bizarre that it did happen, I suppose. |

Well this thread unsurprisingly seems to have been completely derailed after the right wing Gestapo style government lovers were shown up as talking bollocks. (as usual)
The argument that everybody should give up their right to privacy wasn't exactly their shiniest moment

The phone cases would have shown up in his hand luggage as a square objects on the X-ray screens so his suitcase should have been opened, and apparently he had cables as well so they should have been removed if nothing else, and the point is it would have been assumed to be an unrealistic scenario for this to have happened the day before yesterday, it has now been reported he has used fake passports in the past and was banned from entering Cyprus so how he was allowed to have a passport is also beyond belief Last edited by Cherry Christmas; 30-03-2016 at 12:34 PM. |
