Primary here is the fact that armed forces, CIA, and anything within 100 miles radius from security topic have gained immensely since 9/11, in terms of budgets and powers, because they are supposed to fight war on terror. Secondary is the fact that they obviously have to demonstrate some result, and, given the absence of anything real, they don't have any other choice than to lock up taxi drivers. It's even hard to blame them. In USSR during Stalin regime, people were demonstrating absolutely the same behavior, and gulags were full with "enemies of the nation". If you think that CIA & Co. are spending resources on real terrorists, then, again, where are they? where are trials? evidence? convictions? where are those who we are to thank for the liquid-related limitations - I guess they were planning to blow something up? were they tried? no? why no? don't you think that if CIA & Co. can keep those "terrorists" locked up only on condition of no trial, not seeing the evidence, etc., then the most likely explanation is that there's no evidence indeed? or maybe you have another? or perhaps the media that is so happy to feed us all those laughable hoaxes like Osama's video tapes, wouldn't report those real trials if any took place?
