I just realized that today's failed terrorist attack was, in fact, a success. Even by trying to blow up the planes and getting caught, a small group of terrorists have managed to create mass hysteria and fear among the airlines and among out political leaders. Instead of blowing up a few planes and killing a bunch of people, they have instead caused mass transportation chaos and made the already over-paranoid, utterly terrified people of the United States and United Kingdom all the more paranoid and frightened. Thanks to George W. Bush and Tony Blair and their insistence that we become even greater chicken-shits the terrorists, have, in fact, already won.
Other reflections on airline travel:
You can only move through the airport as quickly as the two pensioners in front of you. They will always be moving, very, very slowly.
