No offense to any Freepers in LA or California, but I find it hard to believe that Al-Queda would target any area (Hollywood especially) of the country where sympathy for their cause is so strong.

Not yet, anyway.

Officials in LA and California in general are not going to pass up the chance to scare the lcoals a little bit, it probably helps with getting various legislation or budgets passed.

You may not recall New Year's 2000. A Canadian border crossing guard had a sense that something was unusual about an Arabic man driving across the Canadian American border so she asked him to open the trunk of his car.

That is how one lone Canadian border patrol agent prevented a nuclear explosion scheduled for later in the year at Los Angeles International Airport when she discovered a small nuclear bomb device with all parts included.

You may also have forgotten that President Reagan was Governor of California for eight years and that Orange County and San Diego County have a very large conservative presence.

So why did they attack NY? Because it's so conservative? Where do you people get this stuff?

Are you excluding the shooting attack at LAX and planned bombing of LAX?
