"Excuse me .. I know the story wasn't about cruise ships - I'M SAYING WHY ISN'T A CRUISE SHIP A BETTER ALTERNATIVE ..?? If a super-tanker won't explode .. what would be the purpose of taking it ..??"

CyberAnt, you and several others on this post have mentioned cruise ships and I think you are all correct to be concerned. Just think, if they could hijack four cruise ships, like they did four airplanes on 911, then they could have at least 8,000 or 10,000 people (figuring at 2,000 plus per ship, including crew). They could run those ships anywhere they wanted, get tons of media attention and cause terrible fear in the hearts of millions then kill everyone. What a great feat for terrorists. This is the reason I will not cruise again in the forseeable future, until the whole middle east mess is contained, which seems not to be promising in my lifetime.
