[Best of Times Worst of Times]

This leads me to a thought I brought up to my wife a couple months ago while driving south out of Chicago in rush hour traffic. The other side of the Interstate was bumper-to-bumper for at least 5 miles. We were cruising down the other side at 65 mph and I began to think.... if terrorists got together in a van or something and threw a few hand grenades or something into traffic like that, think of the havoc it would wreak. People would be terrified of being in traffic. And what if it happened in 10 or 12 US cities in the same evening rush hour. AQ have proved that they can co-ordinate pretty well. Just a thought, but it really gave me pause to think. Terrorism is a scary thing in a free country.

And what if..

I had nearly the same exact thought last week during my morning commute. You just don't know what will happen next or when or where, and that's exactly how they want us to feel.

How true. It may not be possible but the only way to really counter terrorism is to first think like a terrorist.

BTW, welcome to FR. Nice to have you aboard.
