If anyone doesn't want to submit to the long leg of government, I'm sure the regulation will stipulate they should be cut off at the knees. =)Cryptishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16297531819669574380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-31902880532917677232011-06-15T10:37:56.133-04:002011-06-15T10:37:56.133-04:00Well, considering your statement "al Qaeda wa...Well, considering your statement "al Qaeda was considering attacks on high-profile dates", don't you think the No-Fly/No-Ride list should be expanded with a No-Eat List?

Not only do horses have the ability to carry hundreds of pounds of explosives, but are also able release a toxic methane gas. The danger speaks for itself.Tacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735891764712721865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862444008740250372.post-91250329585166604382011-06-12T10:43:14.958-04:002011-06-12T10:43:14.958-04:00It's about time someone paid attention to our ...It's about time someone paid attention to our porous stable system. As the Battle of Algiers showed, terrorists have no qualms about using horses for their deeds.<br /><br />And yet, our stables have none of the hermetic security procedures of airports. What is to stop a terrorist from loading a bomb into a carriage and detonating it among the weekend throngs of the lower Central Park loop?<br /><br />It's true that we can't search everyone stepping into the saddle, but authorities need to find the right balance between civil liberties of horse passengers and protecting us from terrorism. Will it take major horse-based attack on our shores for them to act?nathan_hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12427083977923133797noreply@blogger.com
