this scares me considering Im flying to the US from France later this month...

isnt it funny that they tried to do this on 8/10, which is one less then 9/11

shit...what do you guys think it was, who did it, and if its anything to worry about

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who realized it. Yeah, real orginal terrorists. Wait 5 years and then minus 1 from each number. I can't wait to see how "The Daily Show" and the "Colbert Report" handle the story.

I heard on CNN that Al-Queda is more like a bunch of smaller groups spread out throughout the world rather than one huge branch in an area. Supposedly, some of the terrorists traveled back and forth to Pakistan a few times and it is suspected that it was for Al-Queda-like training. It's ok about the language. Many of the people within this region are as mad if not angrier. Especially me because I was suppose to go to England this spring!

I would be a little weary about flying today, but not enough to deter me from flying to/from the U.K. My parents are very conservative and were already scared of the idea of me spending 5 months in England even though they are America's allies. Now, because of the morons that decided to pull this shit, I may not be able to take the trip because my parents will be scared half to death or the college would put it on their "red flag" list.

Anyone have a rubber raft and a baseball bat I can use? Because I might gather the people that was suppose to come with me to England and help Scotland Yard beat hunt down these people. Kidding, but seriously, how dumb do you have to be to prefer spilling your own blood--and the blood of others--rather than to just sit down with your wives and discuss your day while you eat dinner and watch BBC?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Now at least they can't actually blow anyone up whereas a couple of days ago they could have. The only reason to be more scared of flying now is that the US has increased the number of gun-toting air marshalls on our flights making it slightly easier for a committed highjacker to get hold of a weapon on board a plane.

It's reassuring to me, but I know my parents are trying to ban me from studying in England next semester. They think that b/c they foiled their plot this time it doesn't mean that they won't do it next time. They think the terrorists are going to try to find more clever ways of working around the counterterrorism forces and airport security. I know it's risky and they may be able to find a way around all the securities we have today, but as Rudy said on Larry King Live last night, life is full of risks and we shouldn't cancel our plans b/c of this, right?

Although the terrorrist sure are getting less creative nowadays.

I think the lack of creativity is what causes the U.S. Government to believe that it could be Al Queda related. Supposedly, Al Queda has been known to try the same thing a few times with little differences here and there in order to create more damage with less chance of getting caught. However, I agree, but I'm not going ot fuss too much about it since it allows the U.K. and U.S. a better chance to catch them before they strike.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
