Actually, today hasn't been that bad - since that car bomb this morning. It's been pretty quiet since then.

Thanks. I feared (not quite the right word) that it was US bound.
It wouldn't surprise me if there were a coördinated world wide attack on US bound flights.

It looks like there was some coordinated effort planned for today. The fact that we've thwarted them must be devastating to the Islamofascists.

Snakes on a plane!Fox News just reported that the hijacker approached the cockpit carrying a rope. (Not a joke, that was the actual report.)

Or it could have been "rerouted" into Israel, that was my first thought.
