JP, that is my point. I don't mean to imply just the airline industry. But think a little farther down the chain. What will be the ripple effect of severely damaging the airline industry which is admittedly already somewhat tenuous.
Many many diferent areas of our economy are directly affected by the health of our airline industry, not to mention the indirectly affected segments that are numerous.

LONDON (AP) - British Airways (BAB) and Air France on Saturday announced the cancellation of seven flights to and from the United States because of security concerns.
BA canceled four flights between Heathrow Airport and Washington on Sunday and Monday and one from Heathrow to Miami on Sunday. Air France canceled two Paris-to-Washington flights. There are no plans to raise the terror alert in the United States because of the latest threats, Homeland Security Department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said.
"We remain concerned about al-Qaida's desire to target aviation, especially international aviation," said Roehrkasse said.

I thought it was so nice and quiet living by O'Hare at 911, eerie at first but so clean and quiet later. I have hated planes since '90 anyway. Bad experience and an ongoing nightmare of doom
