I think these actions are meant to distract us from the the _real_ next threat....which we do not now know. But I'll bet it doesn't involve hijacking airplanes.
I disagree. I believe another hijacking may be in the works, and it may be a small component of a larger scaled attack. I'd like to be proven wrong, but, with the historical fact that the islamofacists have been boasting about another attack much larger in scale than 9/11 for quite some time now.
Don't discount it. A plane load of hostages is priceless to them, especially with children on board.
You make a good point. I find it VERY hard to believe that they would try similar tactics, but the TARGETS do appear to remain the same year after year, and since they didn't get the Sears Tower, the White House, Congress, some big skyscrapers in LA, and DisneyWorld last time, I'd suggest those are the prime targets for the next attempt.

Now thats "imagination". I hope the feds monitor these threads.
