And yes, i think the whole airport makeover came too late! And that the risk of non-Arab looking Jehadis is being ignored (which in my opinion would eb the most sagacious plan of action since few associate 'Islamic Terrorist' with a blue-eyed blond haired male)! Yet there are chechnyans out there associated with UBL!
And all these threats reported on TV are really not helping much because
a) They saturate the authorities with too many objectives (and make the deficient in meeting other obligations...eg i doubt the FBI will be able to get bank robbers and lower-level serial killers anymore since they are too busy making sure no terrorist is 'drilling tunnels' or 'building spaceships' or whatever 'threat' is in vogue).
b) Secondly there is a chance that continuous warnings that never occur will desentisize the American public. Think of the story of the boy who cried wolf, one to many times. I do not think in Israel they have 'color coding' from amber to magenta to sarunni! (And by the way, instead of all those colors why not a simpler numer system, from 1-5, with 5 being something big and 1 being something 'eheard on the grapevine').
Anyway I hope the Feds know what they are doing (although i feel sorry for the position they find themselves in .....they have to ensure nothing else happens, and then at the same time they are oversaturated with tasks! and now they have to join forces and intergrate with other groups that have disimilar organization plans than they do! Talk about a hard job!)
