Hm. I wonder if it's not rather a false-sense of insecurity? I mean, how
much has really changed? Let's put it this way, if the WTC hadn't been
bombed with our own planes, and hadn't come down, how would this hijacking
in TN been taken? Would we have felt our sense of security threatened in
such a way? I trow not.
The problem is that we are still reeling from the WTC bombing, and
everything is suspicious.
BTW, I saw on CNN Intl, last night that now the explosion in France
(Toulouse?) is now under investigation as a possible terrorist attack, and
the plane crash in the Black Sea yesterday has people wondering the same
thing...
No, I dare say that it is a false sense of in-security, rather than the
other way around. Not that I'm any less prone to it than anybody else. :-)
