It Is Impossible To Make This Stuff Up, Folks
America's skies are safer today, aren't they? Even U.S. troops being deployed aboard chartered aircraft must undergo the same security screening as your average passenger. When the National Guard's 48th Brigade Combat Team deployed from Savannah, Georgia, to Iraq, the unit's commander, Lt. Col. John King, reluctantly instructed his soldiers to surrender pocket knives, lighters and nose hair scissors, in compliance with FAA anti-hijacking regulations. Having so complied, the soldiers were allowed to keep their rifles, combat shotguns, pistols, bayonets, helmets and body armor. Here we might suggest that the policymakers at the Federal Aviation Administration deploy their oxygen masks ASAP -- they've definitely got their heads, err, in the clouds.

Unfortunately samwich, it's the stuff that gets written down that usually prevails as "knowledge". And the left's been in charge of that in Europe for well over 100, going on 200 years now.
Knowledge is Power. Communication is Power.
And people no longer "know" what "knowledge" is. They merely "think" they "know". Very few know they know nothing.
And since we all live in democracies, we think we've "found" knowledge in "polls" and "opinions". We also think we've found it in "sales".

Yes, samwich, one does need to find the solution to the paradox of the "many" and the "one". Plato formed a new paradigm around 400 BC. Nietzsche played Zeno to Parmenides 2,300 years later.
