foiled terrorist plot?

[Urbannaja]

I am sure everything will be fine. This is just like other things in history, it passes with time. Just like the red scare, etc. However, if not bringing shampoo and other bottles of liquid on planes saves lives, then I am all for it. I do not consider this giving up any freedom as it is something that obviously is not a big deal and it solves a temp problem.

I believe the real solution to terror is terror itself. If they blow up a building, we blow up a city. Although I know this would not happen anytime soon because of how liberal the media is, the govt gets prosecuted for killing a terrorist now a days. But if this terrorism deal gets so out of hand, I am sure we will do something similar.

Well, I think because politics is so important to so many people in government, it becomes more advantageous to leak information at specific times. This is just made alot easier because you only need *one* person to leak it out of the thousands that know. Compound this by the insane voracity of the media to broadcast anything about government secrets...and there ya go. Terror plots are foiled all the time, it's just unfortunately in human nature to use that information (on both sides) for personal gain.

I'd feel relatively safe about flying right now....this new plot actually shows some fairly predictable, inept qualities by core AQ that intel orgs have capitalized on. What to worry about? Domestic radicalization. As much as the media portrays the government as stomping on freedoms, there's a ton of freedom for radicalized Americans to operate, and almost nothing we can do but watch.
