As for everyone making dumb 8/10 - 9/11 links, the plotters were British and over here yesterday was 10/8/06. We write our dates the more sensible way.
I don't understand why anyone would be more scared of flying today than two days ago. Surely the fact that they caught a load of terrorists is reassuring? 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.
I work right near Gatwick airport and I've never had such an easy drive to work as today. It's also nice and quiet without an eazyjet plane going over every five minutes. I find it pretty amusing though that most European and domestic flights have been cancelled yet all the ones from India and the Middle East are still flying fine.
I can't imagine there'll be any anti-muslim backlash over here though. The people who want to beat up "Pakis" wanted to beat them up already. That shit's been going on ever since we invented the damn country.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
