I'm starting to think that we may not actually see the kind of horrific attack (comparable or worse to 9/11) that we have been warned about for over a year now. Will something else happen? Most likely yes...but perhaps on a lower level, such as suicide bombings, or only directed at overseas targets. We may be giving them more credit than they deserve...why hasn't anything happened since 9/11? Was September 11th simply an anomaly...a lucky one-off? If we ever get around to attacking Iraq and nothing happens in the immediate aftermath, then it would seem the danger may not be so imminent after all. Does that mean it could never or will never happen again? Certainly not...but the doomsday predictions seem to be getting a little stale.

Sept. 11 was |---| this close to decapitation.

Umm my wife is an airline flight attendant and she just about had a heart attack going from Houston to Miami with three Arabs that she said just kept looking around and acting strange.

I think they will attack the airlines again just to put it in our face.

Her flight did have two Barney Fife's on board (Air Marshalls). I figure the next attack in a airliner cabin will include some sort of knockout gas or pepper spray to immobilize Barney.

I feel it in my bones, it'll be the airlines again. And the American people will feel such shame at not being able to stop it.

I finally find someone who agrees with me!

Covert Ops, slashed throats, silenced .22 cal handguns, a few man to man conversations about the inevitable consequences of certain actions if made, a few man to man conversations about the inevitable consequences of certain actions if not made, etc etc etc.
