The thing that gets me is that 30 minutes after it happened the FBI said "nothing to see here..bla bla bla" despite the note supporting bin laden.

They were probably looking to see if it was a solo or group effort.

Yesterday it was being said that there was no evidence of a connection to terrorism. At the time the statement was made, that was true. My understanding is that this note wasn't found until today.

Would it be better if every time anything happens, the government and the media all start screaming "terrorism" at the top of their voices until evidence proves it's not?

I agree!!!!! Why in the H does the FBI keep doing that after all that has happened? This kid, though supposedly has acted alone, must have planned to take the instructor or anyone else who was on the plane with him. At least he didn't blow up a school and picked after hours to do his deed. It will probably take months to get the rest of the letter aired. Cripes, and they want us to co-operate!!!

That's the most disturbing aspect of this story. What will we find out tomorrow? That he was befriended by a member of al qaeda?

Same with the recent AA's crash in NY. The whole scene was obscured by thick black smoke and gov types are reassuring us that the crash was not terrorist related.

ATTENTION gov types if you lurk here. It's better to say nothing than open your fat traps and reveal what idiots you really are.

I think we're all tired of "instant analysis" by Homeland Security (I don't think it was the FBI that issued that statement). They will probably still insist it's not "terrorism" -- since only the perp died. Well, golly gosh, Tom Ridge, I guess I forgot that airplanes crashing into syscrapers was a common occurence before 9/11, and of course, it poses no threat to public safety, so we should just forget it and move along. /sarcasm.
