I wonder how many have stopped to think that by not claiming responsibility, a terrorist group might do more economic damage to Airbus and Air France by letting it appear the crash was their fault (either or both), rather than a verified (claimed) act of terrorism.
A few extra uniforms around the boarding gates might offset the effects of terrorists' activity, but blaming design 'flaws'/limitations or sircraft maintennance/personnel problems might have a more deep seated effect on potential customers which would be far more damaging in the long run.
People don’t stop to think at all. This claim of responsibility nonsense is one of the most out-of-control myths I’ve ever seen. I guess this is what media conditioning can do.
Yeah, because if they let it be known that they can circumvent security at airports there wouldn’t be as much economic damage (/sarc - there is a growing number of FReepers who appear to have ingested large quantities of lead as children)
You have nailed it IMHO! If no one claims responsibility, then it creats fear of flying Air Force Airbus.
