And the Brits will take WHATEVER ACTIONS to keep people safe.

Why yes, even to the point of point blank shooting guys who jumped the turnstile (except they didn't jump the turnstile)

Therein lies a problem with this whole "global economy" idea. It may not be sustainable until we get a handle on Islam and stamp out the menace.

Until then, buy a good car and a fuel card, or maintain status quo.

Nonsense. If we change our way of life and stop flying, the terrorists have won.

Whose ports?

Ports as in internet connections. Standard web connections appeared to be unaffected, but newsgroup ports died, subchannel ports for multiuser games died.. Still listening to the reports of others, but it may have just been the Los Angeles area - I've gotten reports from across the Western US and Canada, but it appears most of the servers they were trying to access were in the greater Los Angeles area.

Not something that would affect most people, but in 15 years on the net, I've never seen anything like this.

Bottom line:

Muslims in the name of Allah tried to commit mass murder of non Muslims. Case closed.

For what it's worth, from roughly 3:00 to 3:30 AM (CDT), I had interruptions to network streams and IRC connections. All other connections (http, etc..) were okay.

This was supposed to be HUGE! Thank GOD this plot was foiled

Unless it was a distraction for something else still in the works.

Sounds like an ISP or ISPs shutting off access. Some new virus?

You're welcome.

Mr. Weisburd is aware of the threat to all of his sites.
