Terror At Metro
let's add that on top of all of the nightmares we already have to put up with any time we think about flying as it is.
Passengers flying from international locations to U.S. destinations may notice additional security measures in place. These measures are designed to be unpredictable, so passengers should not expect to see the same thing everywhere. Due to the busy holiday travel season, both domestic and international travelers should allot extra time for check-in.
TSA: TSA and DHS Statements on Northwest Airlines Flight 253
and here's hoping this remains a rumour: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/12/26/airplane-electronics-ban/
so this time a plane wasn't blown up because of measures already in place (not to mention it's almost impossible to create an explosion fatal to an airframe with what you can get on board a plane anyway - this guy probably just managed to set his clothes on fire), and we can claim the terrorists didn't win and freedom reigns supreme. this is really the bigger issue at hand.
ha.
it's hard to justify starting this thread, given it should just be one big circle jerk of everyone agreeing with how much terrorism has actually defeated us, but i'd be interested in seeing if there is another opinion out there.
