The Airline Terrorist Hoax

The Airline Terrorist Hoax
This is so simple. The idea put forth by the Bush administration is that there are these evil arabic people wanting to blow us up when we fly. So, the got the Transportation Security Administration(TSA) to increase security at airports. According to USA TODAY, last years reports by the TSA show that they failed to find fake bombs hidden on undercover agents between 60 and 70 percent of the time! The fake bombs were hidden in pretty obvious places to check. That means that those evil arabic people would have a GREATER than 60% chance of blowing up a plane if they simply TRIED. Now, what does this mean? Well, if you've ever studied logic, this is a classic example of Modus Tollens:
If there are evil arabs wanting to blow up planes and they have a greater than 60% chance, there will be planes blowing up.
There are no planes blowing up.
Therefore there are no evil arabs wanting to blow up planes even though they have over a 60% chance if they simply tried.
In other words, we've all been royally fucking pwned!
