All they really need is a big crowd. If multiple, simultaneous attacks (electronically-linked devices for a one goes/all go effect) happened in a busy airport amongst many people at different check-ins all held up in line by the TSA, the terrorists' goal would pretty much be achieved. Would the TSA then announce that they were setting up preliminary screenings outside the airports or at locations in the city away from the airport, the pre-screened passengers then bused to the airport? Then those sites would become the target. Would they set up pre-pre-screens against that? Before, you flew knowing there was a chance that someone could take the plane down. Now, if your risks included getting taken out at the airport and getting groped by agents of the government (anyone working by mandate of the government is an agent of the government), who would bother to subject themselves to that?

If they don’t let up, airline business will drop off, terror attack or no terror attack. Bankruptcy will be discussed, then Zer0 will want to do a GM-Chrysler deal wiith them.

It’s all about power...as is everything the WH does.
