Perhaps the chatter itself is their act of terrorism

This has crossed my mind as well. I'm sure they are aware of the increased costs of an Orange alert... but then again, I have never been one to think these terrorists are somehow "intelligent." Their attacks are primal at best. Their best skill seems to be patience and keeping it quiet. I will be very surprised if they can somehow commandeer a plane (or several) again. With the bolted cockpits, the sky marshalls, the increased security, and millions of angry americans in the planes, it simply can't happen again in that manner. SUre, there's plenty of other options for them to pursue, and lord knows our media gives them to them every other week it seems... but these animals are weakened and pathetic. I don't doubt they can inflict plenty of damage again... unfortuntately.

From what I've read, one of the possible threats is their gaining control of either a passenger jet overseas or a cargo jet, and flying it here, into another building or monument. With the possibilty of them gaining control of either of these, with few passengers, if any, and then flying it here, the threat becomes real.

It's bad enough to have 9/11 as a memorable date but I would hate for Christmas or New Year's to be forever tainted with the remembrance of a terrorist attack.

Dear God, keep our homeland safe.
