More crap with terrorists

Margaret Gavin, 67, waiting to board a train, said she wasn't scared. "Why should I change my life because some idiots want to blow something up?" she said.

First of all, that's awesome. =).

Wow, I had't heard of that...but it really does bring to mind - that there are still terrorists out there, not only the ones Israel is fighting at the moment, but terrorists that directly threaten us.

Hm...I don't know if you were being sarcastic, but mind 'splainin that?

Because these planes WERE heading to the US.

"British authorities said Thursday they thwarted a terrorist plot to simultaneously blow up several aircraft heading to the U.S. using explosives smuggled in carry-on luggage."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'd be more worried about speaking the truth right now then millions of Muslims wanting to destroy the US.

Hm...I daresay plenty of people voice "the truth." It is still...a free country, after all. As far as the items a person can take on a plane being so limited, I think it's less because they're potential threats, and more because it saves time on searching - thereby cutting the time a person would have to spend in line to get screened.

Oh hah, yea, I wasn't sure what you meant. But I do think "attacking the US" includes attacking citizens of the United States. And nope, definately not, these attacks weren't exclusively aimed at the US BUT - they did target US borne flights on US aircrafts. Britian is just as much a target than the US though.

On another note - the scariest thing is that it seems the suspects/the people trying to carry this out were actually FROM Britain, "homegrown" terrorists I believe the term is. Scary, right?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, and 2 of them had actually made Martyr tapes - ha ha, I guess those are kind of awkward now.

btw, big ups to your sig [and avatar].

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
