England is a a whole `nother country, across another ocean with a king and a queen. They have a lot larger Muslim population. Only criminals and the Goverment are allowed to have guns. And the whole idea of self defense is foriegn to them. They don't even speak the same language, its an incomprehensible dialect.

England really is a whole different world than the one we have in Texas. While vigilance is always a good idea. Unless we start looking at the Bush family as royalty. England has little in common with Texas.

You may be right. 10 years ago one person in this vast country of ours used a backpack bomb and killed 3 people. The popcorn surely is deadlier than packpacks.

The goal of terrorist is to cause terror or fear. When we live in fear we let them win. I suppose there needs to be common sense applied, and that a line needs to be drawn somewhere, between safety and freedom. Freedom surely is worth some reduction of safety

Re: You are not paranoid enough....

Before 9/11/01 I would have thought nothing of this but today I would be very suspicious. I think you should have notified theatre management and got out of the area until he was checked out. There is no reason a person going to a movie has to carry a back pack in. It could have been left at home or locked in the car if anything of value was in it that he was so conserned out. It is our duty to protect each other to be on the look out for this type of behaviour. Maybe he was just testing the system this time to see if he could get away with it and he did. Who knows but we should be alert at all times now days.
I don't see why movie management let in in the first place. I know they would at least be very interested to see if he were smuggling in any snacks like candy bars that he didn't pay $3.00 for at the concession stand. :roll:
Maybe he had something valuable he didn't want someone to get. I wouldn't let anyone search me, unless it was a police officer, and He had a warrent or I actually had a concealed weapon.
This is America, and we have some rights. If folks don't like my crappy car my backback, fannypacks or whatever, they can leave. But darn it we have certain rights to privacy. and I can't remember when the last time in America someones backpack blew up and killed anyone. The transfat laced popcorn in the movietheater kills more Americans than exploding backpacks.
