Thanks for the link. I read the article, and like you, found it terrifying.
I guess the question is, where do we draw the line in finding the proper regulations that are sufficient for security purposes but don't overly infringe on an individual's freedom.
As a mother, I know my own answer to that question. As a lawyer, I find it difficult to come up with a solution.
Statistically speaking, we all have a far higher chance of dying in a car crash then in dying in a plane crash caused by terrorist activity. Or at least that's how the odds are at this present time...I for one think that terroism is only going to increase on American soil and in other European or North American countries.

Another take on the Syrian musician story. Apparently, it may be hysteria. http://www.salon.com/tech/col/smith/2004/07/21/askthepilot95/index.html
Also, I was loving your Blog anyway, the deal was sealed when I discovered you are a fellow knitter. Now you are a Must Read on my links. LOL

I'm catching up on reading. That's very interesting, as is the article that Jenn posted from salon.
