Terror threat

2006/08/11 filed under /random_thoughts

Still it surprises me, but somehow the terrorist threat news of yesterday still isn't known by some people (yes, I did ask them what happened to their television, radio, newspapers and Internet connection).

Anyways, it seems like mentioning the word terrorist sparks of the great insanity that security officials seem to possess. No more hand luggage and yes, fluids are illegal, but if those fluids are so dangerous, why would you combine them all?

I'm getting so tired of these security measures. Somehow no one can imagine that bare hands are more than enough to kill and overpower pilots? There are a lot of ordinary items that can be lethal (shoe laces, hands, boots, glasses (think: Godfather) and so on...). But at least fluids are now seen as a major threat. What's next? Handcuff every passenger and tape them to the seats? Thank you for flying Con-Air.

Then I noticed that Acme::Terror::UK got updated and I thought it was time to bring the world Acme::Terror::NL to protect us all from evil.

At least the terrorist had quite a good victory yesterday. The European skies were disrupted and many, many passengers were stranded. And of course, we all fear those horrible terrorists now again... Let's invade a country now, or at least free a few trillion dollars for The War on Terror, for now we know it works!

At least you don't have to live in the US which seems to be the source of most of the insanity.

When will the government realize that making a big uproar about terrorist just makes people more afraid. by definition a terrorists purpose is to cause terror right? So, if we get everyone scared then we've help them in their goal.

You still have more of a chance of getting killed driving your car to work than being killed because of a terrorist act.

Very true, and I believe the chances of being attacked by a shark (non-terrorist shark, that is) in the US is even higher than being struck by a terrorist act.

I wonder about the chances of being struck by lightning ...

Boy... I was glad to be in France over the last 2 weeks! Only heard about these threads last Monday, heh-heh!

But gov. has made me sooo scared, I don't even dare to take a leak in my own toilet. Maybe mixing someof the fluids inthere are a hazard to my life too, you know? ;-)

Thank God / Allah / Jaweh / Hindu for these helpful Perl-modules.
