What is even more interesting that there was almost no criticism of the security at Canadian airports where the explosives that blew Air India 182 out of the sky were put on board. Oh sure! That the plane was blown away by explosives is in itself a speculation. But then how about the bag that blew up at Narita airport? That one came from Canada. On a side note, the Athens airport was after all a civilian installation, the Marine barracks in Beirut were not. To my mind the administration is trying to get even with the Greek govt. for its hard nosed attitude towards the U.S. administration. Its high time some thing is done to protect civilian population from being caught in the cross fire. -- Deepak S. Sabnis ...!{ihnp4,hplabs,amd,nsc}!amdahl!dss00 (408) 746-6058 (Usual Disclaimer Here)
