Subject: RE: BS: My take on terrorist threat alerts
Mister and I were having this discussion the other night. I think that if Al-Qaeda was really, truly capable of wreaking havoc in the US again, they would have already done it. I'm not convinced they have the means. I think a lot of this "chatter" is trash talk on their part just to keep people frightened. Psychological warfare and all that.

But that isn't necessary. I think we're all very much aware that something else -could- happen, anytime, anyplace. And while I'm not necessarily frightened by it, I am aware of that possibility.

I also believe it would be very, very difficult to pull off another hijacking. I don't think the passengers would stand for it.
