Next year, look for a terrorist plot involving exploding underwear. Then we’ll have to fly naked.

“Did you see the news today, Ahmad? All the brothers had to do was TALK ABOUT carrying bombs onto airplanes, and now they quake in fear of every gym bag! Until the end of time, no Infidel will carry a Godless bottle of water or satanic book onto an airplane! Millions of money and thousands of hours of aggravation, just from talk!

Allah is truly mighty, that the west cowers from the very thought of martyrdom operations!”

If we overreact to the point where millions of passengers can’t carry a laptop onto an airplane, then they have beaten us. We’re just waiting for the next command. When there’s a conspiracy about bombs in ships, look for multi billion dollar ship precautions and follow on delay and expense. Train bombs? Inspect every boxcar with the new Federal Department of Every Box Car Inspection.

What strikes me is that they are winning huge economic victories without taking a single casualty. They just have to find some jihadis who are willing to “conspire”, get caught, spend a few years in a safe western prison, and come out as heroes. We- as we permit our masters to direct us- deserve to lose. Our craven reaction is the disproportionate one- far more surrender than the attack warrants.
