I find the thwarted terrorist attack disturbing, but I find some of the reactions even more so. CNN had a pic up earlier of two state troopers patrolling the Chicago airport carrying full-auto weapons. That disturbed me. I'm sure our military, police, and intelligence agencies have prevented hundreds of terrorist attacks and major catastrophes. But when the media blasts it all over the place and makes it even more sensational than it was (although this one can be excluded from that list), I see people who are normally logical make very illogical decisions. Now they recommend arriving 2 hours early for a flight? More security measures? I udnerstand the measures our own government takes to protect us (after all, that's part of their job), but the rest of the country (let's include our America Jr. friends in Canada as they are affected too) always acts stupid.
What do you think about the terrorist plot and the reactions to it?
