Are the terrorists getting what they wanted?

[Calhoun07]

Last night, as I am sure you all know, they detained some men with fake ids and knives who were trying to get on a flight to California. Now, you all know they must have known security would be ultra tight now. I don't think they intended to get on that flight, but to scare America even further to keep the planes down longer. All the more to weaken the already weakened nation. I think that's what they wanted to do, and succeeded.

Well....if that's what they wanted, that sucks!

But America is already opening more airports even with that scare. So I think that any other scares like that will be more and more futile...America is already getting back on its feet in only a matter of days. Terrorists, no matter who they are, don't like that.

I think every case we hear about in which another suspected terrorist is caught doesn't make us more fearful, but actually a bit more confident. It builds our confidence in the new security measures being put into place, and, as has been pointed out, airports are still going ahead with their openings.

Ya know, it would sure suck right about now for a hijacker who just wants to "take the plane to Cuba" or some ransom money. Every passenger on the flight would assume the guy's aiming at a building and probably just rush him, like the people on the Penn flight did. I know I would.
