Terrorists are cowards. :evil:

Could they do isolated attacks such as you've suggested? Sure.

Will they? Maybe.

Can we protect ourselves? Not really. The odds of a carefully planned terroristic attack succeeding are fairly good.

Terrorists are cowards and need to be eradicated or reprogrammed...whichever comes first. :twisted:

 

It was getting a little hot in the truck today and, foolish me, I was beginning to sweat and took off my tinfoil hat just long enough . .

. . some nut was going on about the OPEC conspiracy to get white Americans out of there cars and into mass transit where they could be suicide bombed more efficiently. There wouldn't be sufficient outrage if only poor, off white folks were being killed, apparently.

That said; sure, we're vulnerable. Anything could happen. If there are terrorists reading this thread, I'm on my way to do a reset in a Tucson casino. Kindly direct your anger elsewhere, thank you.

 

i think i read about this in a tom clancy book called Debt of Honor where they used a high intensity laser or spotlight or something to blind the pilot on approach and cause a crash with no evidence.
in that same book at the end a pilot crashes into the US capital, killing congress and the president.

 

his radio show was pretty exciting to listen to. he had some real crazy people on that show. much of the topics were about alien abductions/sightings, the paranormal, conspiracy theories, and it didn't matter how whacked out the topic was. he'd have that person on and let them tell their side of things without ever cutting in and blasting them for their ideas and beliefs.

Anyone buy one of those cute little electronic picture frames (made in China, typically) . . you download pictures from your computer to it and it displays and changes the picture according to your settings?

While you're busy downloading to it, it's busy uploading a program to your computer that will search your computer for assundry sensative items, take over your email program . . and send everything off to China! Bon voyage!

Even if it doesn't find any information of particular value, your computer can still be turned into a "Zombie" and used to attack other computers. Yeah!

Heard this today on NPR . . Fresh Air with Terry Gross . . pretty reliable source.

 

Relax, Folks!!

This problem is one that DOES have a solution.

As part of her "Anti-Crime Bill", Senator Hillary Clinton has proposed a seven day waiting period on the sale and purchase of all laser devices!!

They can have my laser pointer when they pry it out of my cold, dead hands!
