And you seem to have missed the fact that we went to war with Iraq over much the same bed wetting. And lord knows there was enough bed wetting and screaming about those who's bed was not wet over this last bit in London. BTW, I'm staying in London and just flew into the UK this morning, so I'm well aware of how wet the bed is and how ludicrous it all is. Still, you should read <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/17/flying_toilet_terror_labs/" rel="nofollow">this</a> if you haven't. I found it quite instructive as to the relative incontinence. And if you don't understand how much political hay has been generated from the fear this plot has caused, then perhaps you're not looking beyond your blinders... It's not just policy. It's politics. Hell, Lieberman used the blasted plot as a slam against Lamont. Cheney used it to tar all democrats... It's not just about whether we have appropriate doors on cockpits...
