You beat me to it. I was coming here to post this. Can you imagine what CBS would do if something like this were to happen? Break away and do the news or what? But really this is a good timeframe to do something like this. A lot of the security is focused on the Super Bowl. Hit the vulnerable areas elsewhere. Bars will be packed with fans everywhere.
I find it interesting they have said nothing about the Mexican airlines. There were some cancellations of the Air Mexico last time, right? Seems to me they have more of a chance to do something near the Super Bowl with an airplane coming from Mexico who probably has lousy security, IMO.
I'm so afraid all of this is a huge distraction. The terrorists saw what happened last month with the cancellations. Perhaps all of that was a test run to see our reaction. Now, do it again but as a distraction to do something somewhere else entirely. Al-Qaeda is known for being sophisticated when it comes to planning.
The thing I don't get is the terror alert not being raised. I know it costs money, but they need to protect their butts if something should happen while it's on yellow. At least put it up to orange til Feb 4 or something. Seems to me, that people do take it more seriously when it's at orange. And this being the Super Bowl weekend, I think people would understand the terror alert being raised.
We have to be right 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to be right once. That scares me. I'm praying like heck!
