BTW, it is becoming clearer that the vast majority of the 'terrorists' are rather stupid. ShoeBomb is not an intellectual giant, nor is the Chicago gangster-type who did everything but leave yellow ribbons to mark his trail.

So if this is true, what's the big worry??

[Dan from Michigan]

There's always a concern, but I do not see how giving up our freedoms is going to help us.

I won't let them let me give up my freedoms ANYWAY. If we do that, they win. The terrorists hate freedom.

They are willing to get themselves killed if they take you with them.

Remember one of the first Homicide killers Sirhan Sirhan, was the first Muslim to bring the classic religion-of-peace to American shores, when, in support of the Palestinians, he assassinated Robert Kennedy.

The big worry is that the professionals are the ones who flew the planes into those buildings. We are catching minnows while Jaws is bearing down on us from behind. Or, the Al-Queda guys don't mind losing idiots if it keeps us occupied while they prepare something new and nasty for us to deal with. If it causes us to relax, well, so much the better from their point of view.
