I”m amazed at the nastiness of the critics in this thread. Yes they may have a point that the link hasn’t been established between traveler’s fears and terrorism, per se — but what sane person would deny that the very act of flying has been made much more troublesome, burdensome, and fear-inducing than Islamic terrorism?
Many here seem to forget that Yassir Arafat began hijacking planes over three decades ago and began the security crackdown we now accept as “normal” when flying by air. Sure, a few communists, a few Tamils have hijacked planes, but they are as frequent as the unibombers and Timothy McVeighs.
Nearly ALL of the remaining hundreds upon hundreds of atrocities involving airplane terrorism has been committed by Muslims.
Nasty posters above who are attacking Annie Jacobssn’s inferences about the role of Islam and Muslims in air security show themselves to be cravenly forgetful fools, hypocrites, or Islam apologizing nitwits.
